Balance beam for pedal boxes to adjust the braking ratio between the front and rear brakes

A drive motor can also act as a generator. If the drive system is built so as to allow reverse power to flow then this power can be fed into a resistor, thus taking energy out of the system and causing whatever is driving the motor to slow down. Following to this the braking resistor converts the stop energy into heat. Electrical drive systems are being used more and more on ships, oil rigs, crane barges and offshore vessels of all types. An important benefit from using an electric drive is that reliable systems of regenerative and dynamic braking resistors are available to complement or replace traditional mechanical braking systems. The advantages of electric braking include control, reliability, mechanical simplicity, weight saving and in some cases the opportunity to make use of the regenerated braking energy. The Braking Resistor Units from Klöpper Therm are designed according to specific applications.

Wherever there is only a very limited installation space available and a powerful brake is still required, we are sure to be “new fans”. Developed from the requirements of the industrial truck industry, the advantages of the BFK551 will certainly also make you curious in intralogistics and in the area of all general motor applications!

Electromagnetic clutches are used wherever moving masses have to be driven or decelerated as quickly as possible. Our wide range of products covers a wide variety of requirements. All clutches and brakes can be used in any installation position and require hardly any maintenance. All variants are powerful and operate with all-round safety and reliability. They feature short operating times, low inertia torques and ventilation that is free of residual torque.
