Jan. 13, 2015 – Nexen Group says its latest safety component, spring engaged/air released safety brakes, are necessary for safeguarding personnel, machinery and processes.

Designed to stop and hold devices, such as direct or redundant brakes, the safety brakes are ideal for lockout/tagout and emergency stop situations.
