Nexen Introduces an Industry First: NexSafe Functional Safety Certified Brakes

Nexen Group, Inc., announces the launch of NexSafe™ Certified Safety Brakes - the first products in North America to earn the Intertek Functional Safety (FS) Mark. NexSafe products are certified to comply with ISO 13849-1, Categories B through 4 and Performance Levels PLa through PLe. Integraged safety features typically increase component pricing signficantly, but Nexen has provided this increased safety at no extra cost to customers. NexSafe products are spring engaged, air released, and default to lock, making them ideal for precision holding and emergency applications. They are Industry 4.0 compatible with Operating Mode Sensors for engagement or disengagement, accurate linear positioning, predictive maintenance, and operational feedback.
