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
