EBS fixed caliper brakes

Spring-applied closing, hydraulically controlled opening. Safety brake – passive brake with a constant clamp – spring-activated and hydraulically released. Braking force: 15,000 N – 400,000 N.

EBS fixed caliper brakes

Fixed caliper brakes are a robust solution for braking applications where the brake caliper is permanently connected to the brake support. Unlike floating caliper brakes, the fixed caliper remains stationary in its position, ensuring stable braking performance.

Key features of fixed caliper brakes:

Even pressure distribution:
Placing the brake disc between both sides of the caliper ensures uniform pressure, which enhances braking effectiveness.

Passive braking function:
The brakes can serve as passive holding brakes and emergency brakes that are spring-applied when idle.
Various brake spring packs and spacer plates allow for precise adjustment of braking force.
Additional features such as release mechanisms, adjustment systems, and wear detection are optionally available.

Parking function:
The relaxation of the brake spring after full release simplifies installation, maintenance, and repairs.

Leakage oil connections:
Designed for controlled drainage of leakage oil to maintain a clean and reliable working environment.

Environmental protection:
Hydraulic seals are positioned far from the brake disc to protect against heat generated by highly dynamic braking.
Fully sealed connectors prevent dirt and fluid ingress, which is especially useful in outdoor or marine applications.
The brakes come with standard mining approval for brake pads.

Applications:
Typical application areas for this spring-applied, hydraulically released brake caliper include cranes, hoists, heavy industry, conveyor system construction, and general mechanical engineering.
