Brake bands

The brake bands must not be bent under any circumstances. So that nothing happens during transport and storage, the brake bands are individually packed in a special box

the new brake band lies on the slotted inner box with a perfect fit and is well secured.

The braking-effective surface of the brake bands and the brake drum must under no circumstances be touched with your fingers.

We offer cotton gloves for work on the brake units. The gloves can also be found in our cleaning kits and must be ordered separately from us.

Unfortunately, reflective surfaces are difficult to photograph.

The old brake bands are polished to a mirror finish over the years. The braking effect approaches zero. This leads to the formation of loops with stretched or even torn ligaments.

If you look very closely, you can still guess the structure of the braking surface. The coating that causes the increased friction between the brake band and the brake drum has completely disappeared. The worn brake band is as smooth as a mirror and no longer has any braking effect. That in turn can destroy the tape material with your music!

Here you can see the coating of the new brake bands at roughly the same magnification as before. We at revox-online suspect that the coating is made of bauxite. We know why we have the brake bands reproduced by revox-online!
