Detailed Product Description

Spring applied and electrically released calipers are designed for medium to heavy emergency stopping and holding applications. The calipers can be used with standard brake discs or clamped to the guide rail of existing equipment. Normally one or two units can be used
per disc, but the number may be increased depending on the disc size and brake torque requirement.

Caliper
The calipers are constructed of ductile iron with high strength aluminum shoes. Parallel motion linkage promotes even pad wear. The shoe arms are pivoted with bushings for smooth and consistent action.

Actuator
Rugged electromagnet designed for long life. Efficient parallel motion design can disengage the brake across large gaps for extended periods between adjustments. Fully potted coils protect against harsh environments.

Easy Pad Change
Standard pads are made from organic non-asbestos material. Pads are also available in high coefficient, high temperature, and graphite materials. Typical pad change times are less than 5 minutes
