Over a century ago, inventor Myron Dings launched a magnetic separator company grounded in innovation and engineering excellence. Innovation continued in the 1950s when Dings Dynamics Group was founded after developing advanced industrial braking solutions. Our engineering drive from the past is still the foundation of our business today.
Since 1899, Dings Company has engineered reliable solutions for demanding industrial environments. Guided by innovation, practical engineering and a commitment to superior performance, Dings is now a leading manufacturer of spring-set, electrically released disc brakes for industrial motors.
Today, Dings advanced braking solutions provide fast stopping power, secure load holding and long-lasting performance in industrial environments worldwide.
Dings Brakes is an engineering-driven manufacturer recognized globally for dependable spring-set, electrically released disc brakes. Our engineers provide expert application support and innovative designs for a wide range of industrial motor applications.
Dings’ customized, application-specific solutions deliver cost-effective braking without compromising performance or durability.
Dings brakes are engineered and assembled in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA.
Dings brakes operate on a simple, reliable principle. When power is applied, an internal electromagnet retracts the pressure plate, allowing the motor shaft and friction discs to rotate freely. When power is removed, the magnet releases and the spring-set brake engages instantly to stop motion and hold the load securely in place.
This direct-acting design features a single moving part and no complex linkages, minimizing maintenance and reducing potential failure points. The result is a long service life, consistent performance and exceptional reliability.
Dings Braking Specialists partner with customers to understand performance requirements, duty cycles and mounting constraints to then recommend or design the ideal braking solution.
Responsive, expert support follows every purchase. Customers can count on Dings for parts, repairs, rebuilds and advice to keep equipment performing its best for years to come.
