Industrial caliper safety disc brake

Industrial Caliper Safety Disc Brake

The industrial caliper safety disc brake offers reliable performance for heavy-duty industrial applications. As a direct-acting solution without lever transmission, it ensures dependable stopping power and enhanced safety for machinery across various sectors. This model is a robust option among industrial disc brakes, designed to protect against load crashes and gear shaft failures.

Key Features & Benefits

  • Spring-Applied Braking: Provides fail-safe functionality; if power fails, the brake is automatically engaged by spring force.
  • Hydraulic Release: Braking force is released using a hydraulic cylinder for secure and efficient operation.
  • Direct Acting: The brake acts directly on the disc for consistent performance, without the need for additional linkages.
  • High Braking Torque: Independent of rotational direction, suitable for bidirectional applications.
  • Manual Wear Adjustment: Brake lining wear can be manually adjusted. Air gap is user-adjustable from 1 to 3 mm.
  • Low-Wear Sintered Linings: Equipped as standard, offering good friction characteristics (μ = 0.4) and extended lifespan.
  • Encapsulated Hydraulic System: Protects hydraulic seals and fluid from braking heat, minimizing maintenance and supporting long-term reliability.
  • Modular Clamping: Multiple caliper combinations per disc are possible to achieve required pad force (up to 1600 kN for 4 x SCFH-4 units).
  • Supplied Ready-Assembled: Delivered with pre-tensioned springs, simplifying installation.
  • Flexible Mounting: Two identical clamp halves can be installed in any orientation.

Applications

  • Crane systems
  • Offshore and marine/ship installations
  • Steel and wind industries

    • SCFH-4-400: 400.0 kN
Description

Features

  • Braking by spring force. Spring applied braking force
  • Lifting by hydraulic cylinder. Hydraulic release
  • Self-acting in case of power failure. Fail Safe (if power fails the brake applies mechanical force)
  • High braking torque, direction of rotation independent
  • Supplied ready assembled, with pre-tensioned braking springs
  • Two identical halves, and can be mounted in any position
  • Manual adjustment for brake wear. Air-gap adjustable in the range of 1 to 3 mm
  • Standard low wear sintered pads with μ = 0,4
  • Encapsulated hydraulic system. The hydraulic piston is fitted behind the spring-pack, away from the friction zone. As a result the hydraulic seals and fluid are not subjected to braking heat, and no cooling is required to achieve reliable long term sealing and operation.

 

Technical benefits

  • Very high quality and safety level
  • Long service-life / Reduction of maintenance and follow-up costs
  • Direct acting without linkages
  • Fixed, not floating
APPLICATION AREAS

APPLICATION AREAS
