Spring-activated safety brake is released pneumatically
Ringspann's DH 10 FPM brake calliper is spring-applied and released by pneumatics, meaning that it is suitable for safety-related applications. The pneumatic pistons are integral in the body, with a single pneumatic connection, so the the complete calliper is both compact and easy to install. Because the friction blocks are pivoted, full-face contact is ensured, even after wear has occurred.
Depending on the diameter of the disc used, the calliper is capable of delivering braking torques of 15Nm (for a 125mm disc) to 50Nm (for a 355mm disc). Ringspann can supply a full range of 12.mm thickness discs to suit the calliper.
