Mechanical brakes - Import export

Product characteristics of the centrifugal brakes The centrifugal brake generally works like a centrifugal clutch, but with the housing secured against twisting. A centrifugal brake generally does not brake to standstill but only keeps the revolutions constant. Typical applications for centrifugal brakes are roping-down devices, cranes, lifts, safety gates, and also speed limiters. Areas of use for centrifugal brakes Centrifugal brakes are often used as backup brake systems for electronic brakes. They have the advantage of braking reliably and securely, independently of any other power supply. We supply the centrifugal brake without a housing if the customer already has a brake housing, too.

The mechanical back-up design uses SPIROL® Disc Springs. Under normal circumstances, the hydraulic system holds a constant pressure on Disc Springs stacked in series. If pressure fails to be maintained, the stack of Disc Springs decompresses to actuate the braking mechanism. A compression spring or wave spring is not capable of providing the force required (in the space available) to actuate the brakes. The reliability of this safety system is dependent on the consistent performance of Disc Springs. In this critical application, the Disc Spring’s performance and level of predictability improves product quality and ensures overall safety. SPIROL® Disc Springs have a high capacity to consistently store releasable mechanical energy. Visit www.SPRIOL.com to learn more!

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.

Calibrate and adjust mechanical yarn brakes for the textile industry The test specimen is inserted in the UUT, which is mounted on a pneumatic slide. By pressing a button, the candidate moves to the running belt drive. The sample is then tested in different locking positions, the switching of the individual Paramtersätze is realized via a rotary switch. In each latching position, IO / NIO statement about the GMV2 light mounted on the column is displayed visually. After passing the examination, the tray will open again and the next candidate can be inserted. A speed controller as well as an ON / OFF switch for the drive are also integrated in the switch box under the GMV2. The entire inspection unit is mobile and complained to a height-adjustable lifting unit. The GMV2 and connect the switch are also mounted height adjustable in the profiles.

The BFK455 double-brake from INTORQ is a dual spring-applied brake with four friction surfaces and two electrically and mechanically separated brake circuits. The brake circuits can be individually controlled. Separate connecting lines can be used to control the brake circuits individually. The switching state of the two spring-applied brakes is monitored by two individual microswitches. The dual spring-applied brake is designed for one brake alone to provide the necessary braking torque. The second brake is used for redundancy, thus complying with the legal requirements for elevator standards. The BFK455 dual spring-applied brake from INTORQ is a redundant brake system with effective and stable noise reduction. It is ideally suited to elevator and platform applications.

When operating in crane and port facilities, a braking system must primarily be reliably protected and, secondly, must operate very powerfully. The INTORQ BFK 471 product series combines these two features perfectly. These specially sealed brakes have a newly designed hand-release mechanism which, like the brakes themselves, is IP66 compliant. This series also features high braking torque and requires only a compact installation space.

This stainless steel vertical lifeline system is designed for permanently-installed, standard ladders made of steel or aluminium (welded-on or crimped rungs) and is simply clamped onto the rungs of your ladder. We also offer an optional model with a longer protrusion (130 cm) which allows the user to climb on and off safely. EN 353-1:2018 (incl. in former times CNB/P/11.073) Suitable for simultaneous usage by 2 individuals (1 person per glider Fixed guide with stainless steel cable (8 mm) A range of top section protrusions available - up to 130 cm Specially-designed vertical ladder glider with a blocking mechanism to apply the brakes in the case of a fall For rungs measuring max. 3.5 cm x 3.5 cm; other sizes available upon request
