Brakes and Transmissions

Service brakes, safety brakes, emergency brakes welded steel structure in accordance with standards DIN 15435
Applications
    Service brake
    Safety brake
    Emergency brake
Original Equipment
    Welded steel structure according to DIN 15435 - epoxy resin painting (2 coatings) - RAL 3000 final colouring.
    Manganese phosphated pins.
    Self-lubricating bushes on main joints.
    Light alloy drums with asbestos free bonded linings.
    Friction coefficient μ=0,42.
    Braking torque scale indicator.
Operation
    The drum brakes WESTCAR type A are negative.
    The braking force is obtained by means of a spring that, through a suitable system of levers, transmits its amplified action to the braking pads.
    Un attuatore elettro idraulico esercita un’azione opposta a quella della molla determinando, quando alimentato elettricamente, l’apertura del freno.
    An electrohydraulic or pneumatic thrustor makes an opposite force to the spring, causing the pads to open, therefore the brake to release.
    The braking force of the linings against the drum can be modulated by adjusting the spring.
    Braking torque changes depending on braking force modulation.
Optionals
    Automatic wear compensation (RG).
    Linings max wear indicator (fitted on rod) (FCU).
    Open brake indicator, either fitted on thrustor or on spring set (to be specified) (FCA).
    Larger drum (50% wider) (L).
    Stainless steel pins (INOX)

Electromagnetic multiple disc brakes
Applications
    Service brake
    Safety brake
    Emergency brake
Original Equipment
    Zinc coated steel structure - epoxy resin painting - RAL 3000 final colouring.
    Stainless steel pins.
    Self lubricating bushes on main joints.
    Asbestos free linings, bonded to easy-to-replace plates.
    Friction coefficient μ =0,4.
    Braking torque scale indicator.
Operation
    The disc brake MATEC MD are negative brakes (spring loaded), i.e. the braking force is obtained by means of a spring that, through a suitable system of levers, transmits its amplified action to the braking pads, where the linings are fitted. An electrohydraulic or pneumatic thrustor makes an apposite force to the spring load , causing the pads to open, therefore the brake to release.
    The braking force given by the linings against the disk can be modulated by adjusting the spring.
    Braking torque changes depending on braking force modulation.
Optionals
    Automatic wear compensation RG.
    Linings max wear indicator, fitted on rod FCU.
    Open brake indicator, either fitted on thrustor or on spring set (to be specified) FCA.
    Brake manual opening lever LSM.
