EBS FL floating caliper brakes

Innovative solution for limited installation space
Floating caliper brakes, also known as sliding caliper brakes, offer an innovative solution for braking applications with restricted installation space. Their unique design allows the caliper to move freely along guide pins, ensuring even pressure distribution on both sides of the brake disc.

Special features of floating caliper brakes:

Our modular system allows flexible customization of the braking system to meet virtually any requirement. The selection of actuating components, the number of brake calipers, and the disc diameter can all be configured individually. The open design also allows the use of brake discs of any size without limitations.

• Axial mobility: The caliper can move freely in the axial direction, ensuring even pressure distribution.

• Compact design: With only one fixed point, floating caliper brakes are ideal for applications with limited space.

• High performance: Capable of generating braking forces ranging from 15 to 370 kN.

• Air gap management: A special mechanism prevents the floating caliper module from coming into contact with the brake disc when released.

• Versatile customization options:
  The floating saddle design ensures no significant torques are introduced into the support structure. By placing an intermediate plate between the spring storage module and the floating caliper module, they can be…
