A) TENNSMITH heavy-duty hand brakes are designed and built for long service and accurate bending. Welded steel plate construction and heavy truss rods and braces provide strength and durability. With much more substantial steel side plates than other domestically made units, these brakes have the rigidity required for upper leaf adjustment without the use of wrenches. Equipped with thrust bearings, the upper leaf adjustment screws permit quick, accurate alignment for different material thickness or radii. Other adjustment features include:
  • leveling screws and lock nuts on the pedestals
  • lack screws and tensioner bolts on the apron
  • truss rods on the apron, base, and upper leaf
  • fully adjustable counter balances to facilitate the bending process
  • removable apron angle and insert permit 1/4-in. reverse bends in lighter material   

B)  Bored in-line to ensure perfect alignment, the pivot points are fitted with oilimpregnated bearings. The hinge pins are high-tensile, alloy steel. Ductile steel clamp handles, heavy yokes, grease fittings, and an apron stop rod complement the many other fine features of these heavy-duty brakes.

Models: HBT72-16
A) Tennsmith's new HBT72-16 is designed to provide forming capabilities for complex parts. This machine is truly a universal hand brake, which allows for the removal of both upper and lower segments of fingers. Complex parts, such as HVAC transverse duct forming and down flanged parts, as well as architectural sheet metal and signage applications, can easily be formed using this machine.

 B. ) The HBT72-16 is built with the same high-quality features and standards that Tennsmith brakes are recognized for throughout the industry.
