Thrustor Brakes

Speedage Engineers offers Thrustor Brakes. These brakes are intended for controlling the speed of load lowering or for holding the suspended load at rest. They are suitable for 400/440 V, 3-phase AC supply for a wide range of drum sizes, from 100 to 600 mm diameter. These brakes are applied by the tension of the compressed springs mounted vertically between the thrustor and brake lever. The thrustor rods are connected with the brake by means of an angle lever. As the piston travels upwards the angle lever turns, pushes the brake rod and compresses the brake spring. Simultaneously the brake lever on the other side of the wheel is retracted. The brake lever at the thrustor begins to move when the first lever reaches the stop on the brake base member. The thrustor and the brakes are so adjusted to reserve about 1/3 of the stroke for compensation of the wear of the brake linings
