80/20 40-6806 Red L-Handle Bearing Brake Kit – Zinc Adjustable Stop

Description

Product Overview

The 80/20 40-6806 Red L-Handle Linear Bearing Brake Kit is engineered to provide a reliable, adjustable stop for any 40 Series 80/20 brake kit ready bearing. Constructed from die‑cast zinc with a glossy finish, the kit offers a balance of strength and corrosion resistance, ensuring long‑term performance in demanding industrial environments. The kit includes an L‑shaped handle that allows quick adjustments, enabling users to fine‑tune the braking position without the need for additional tools. Its compact package dimensions of 7 x 6 x 5 inches and lightweight design (approximately 1 pound) make it easy to store and integrate into existing assemblies.

Designed specifically for the 40 Series of 80/20 modular framing, this brake kit fits seamlessly into the standard 40‑6806 model, providing a secure lock for gliding profiles. The zinc material not only offers a high strength‑to‑weight ratio but also contributes to a smooth, low‑friction surface that reduces wear on moving parts. The adjustable stop feature allows users to set the brake position with precision, ensuring that the bearing remains in the desired location during operation, which is critical for safety and repeatability in automated systems.

Usage

This brake kit is ideal for a wide range of industrial applications, including conveyor systems, robotic arms, and any machinery that relies on linear motion control. It excels in environments where consistent positioning of gliding profiles is essential, such as assembly lines, material handling equipment, and custom automation solutions. The adjustable stop provides flexibility for varying load conditions, making it suitable for both light‑duty and heavy‑duty tasks.

Engineers and technicians will appreciate the straightforward installation process, which requires no specialized tools beyond a standard hex driver. The L‑handle can be turned to lock the bearing in place, and the zinc stop can be adjusted to accommodate different travel distances. This simplicity reduces downtime and maintenance costs, allowing your operation to stay productive.

Target audiences include mechanical engineers, system integrators, and maintenance professionals who need a dependable solution for securing linear bearings. The kit’s compatibility with the popular 80/20 modular framing system means it can be incorporated into existing designs without extensive redesign, offering a cost‑effective upgrade path for legacy equipment.
