Hydraulic Brakes

Typical of all braking systems supplied by Barlow Technology, our Hydraulic Brakes are robust both in design and performance. Their compact design allows for easy maintenance and the high capacity and reliability of these brakes makes them particularly suitable as secondary emergency brakes on hoist gears and on downhill conveyors.

Applications:

  • Hoist gears
  • Downhill conveyors

Storm Brakes

The robust design of the storm brakes, supplied by Barlow Technology,  prevents movement of a crane by high winds or gusts and secures the structure, thanks to a built-in wind sensor. The easy maintenance design is suitable for all rail profiles.

Applications:

  • Storm brake for cranes
  • Stackers
  • Reclaimers

Thrusters - BUEL

Introducing BUEL® electrohydraulic thruster equipment, supplied by Barlow Technology. A revolutionary Thruster, at the forefront of technology. The BUEL Thruster incorporates many technical advantages such as lower running costs, faster setting times, very low maintenance requirements and the power to operate higher torque braking systems.

Applications:

  • crane and container handling equipment in sea and inland ports
  • steelworks with ladle, charging and process cranes
  • mining, on excavators and spreaders and in conveyor belt stations

Barlow Technology supplies a range of Encoders and Drive control systems from Hubner –Giessen, a world leader in the manufacture of incremental encoders, absolute encoders, tacho-generators and custom built motors for the Steel Industry, Paper Mills, Ports and Harbours, and many other industries.
For more than 70 years the name Johannes Hübner has become well known for reliable measurement and encoder technology as well as for the most modern tailor-made drive engineering.
Hubner – Giessen develop and manufacture high technology products for industry. Along with analogue tachos and incremental encoders for speed control, our absolute encoders in addition with electronic overspeed switches are applied in mining, rolling mills, shipbuilding and paper industries.
HÜBNER GIESSEN encoder solutions with optical fibre technology have now penetrated railway and harbour engineering, e. g. for high-speed-trains, the most modern shiploaders and container cranes. Specially developed electronics and software have replaced former mechanical components and support our encoders to obtain integrated solutions.
Offering a wide range of different solutions, we are confident that we have the solution to your application.
With newly developed products, Barlow Technology are able to supply you with the latest technology, offering a whole host of different benefits.

Applications:

  • steel industry
  • port & crane technology
  • mining & open cast mining

Absolute Encoders

Absolute encoders from Johannes Huebner Giessen are designed for operations in extreme operating conditions: They have a robust, thick-walled aluminium casing and large ball bearings with a high dynamic load rating; the encapsulated interior space remains sealed even when the generously dimensioned terminal box is open. All screwed connections are vibration resistant. The single-turn version of the absolute encoder with a solid shaft AS… 40 is compatible with all customary interfaces, such as PROFIBUS DP, PROFINET IO, DeviceNet, EtherCAT, SSI and parallel interfaces and can be supplied with an incremental output, if required. The single-turn version offers a maximum resolution up to 16 bit (steps per revolution: 65536). A second shaft end is available on request.

A multiturn version of the absolute encoder from Johannes Huebner Giessen is also available. The solid shaft version of the absolute encode AM… 40 is equipped with all customary interfaces, such as PROFIBUS DP, PROFINET IO, DeviceNet, EtherCAT, SSI or a parallel interface and can be supplied with an incremental output, if required. The multiturn version offers a maximum resolution up to 12 bit (number of revolutions: 4096). The absolute encoder AM… 40 mult-iturn is considered to be the standard version for heavy duty applications. It has a robust aluminium casing and large ball bearings with a high dynamic load rating; the interior space remains sealed even when the terminal box is open. Consequently, it is extremely vibration and shock resistant.

For over 22 years, Barlow Technology has been supplying a range of Steel wheels from our partner, German manufacturing giant, Karl Georg, to many high-profile customers in the UK and Ireland.

With wheels available in forged or cast steel or nodular iron and within a variety of sizes, from 100mm to 1250mm and manufactured to customers’ specific requirements, we are able to support our customers for a wide spectrum of applications.

Wheels can be supplied with or without wheel flanges, with roller or sliding bearings, or as a bare wheel, and also using also a wide range of heat treatment methods, including slip-free hardening.

We supply many of the United Kingdom’s Ports and Harbours and associated steel industries, supplying wheels for specialist applications where non-standard wheels are required.

Our aim is to always understand the application in which our wheels will be used. If rail material and form are available, for example, we then propose materials, allowing the wheel and rail to work mechanically together, prolonging the life of wheels and rail and reducing maintenance costs and down time.

When replacing older, worn wheels, it is our standard practice to supply an approval drawing to our customer, before manufacture commences.
