  • WEB TENSION BRAKE ANTI-SQUEAL IMPROVEMENT
    Publication number: 20120181368
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for reducing brake squeal in a web tension brake. The apparatus comprising an anti-squeal friction pad assembly having a friction pad mounted on a back plate and a rubber isolation layer sandwiched between the back plate and a second back plate. The rubber isolation layer to dampen vibrations and break up the symmetry of the brake assembly minimizing acoustic resonances that cause the objectionable squeal.

  • Unwind stand tension brake friction pad
    Patent number: 6230857
    Abstract: A friction pad assembly having a backplate fast with a pad support body for use in a brake of an unwind stand of a printing press to reduce or eliminate brake squeal. The friction pad reduces brake squeal by the method of affixing the backplate to the mounting body so that the friction pad and pad support are accoustically decoupled from the backplate.
