Spring-actuated thruster brakes

17 August 2017

KTR has extended its range of industrial brakes products by adding a new line of electro-hydraulic thruster brake systems. The KTR-STOP TB line is available as disk or drum brakes.

The spring-actuated thruster brakes are designed for use with lifting devices of Ed 230/50 to Ed 3000/120 and can be used both as an operating and as a safety brake.

The KTR-STOP TB S disk brake is available in right- and left-hand versions, in three sizes. With a disk diameter of 900mm, it generates braking torques of up to 15,200 Nm. The KTR-STOP TB T drum brake is available in seven sizes. With a thruster diameter of 710mm, it can generate brake torques of up to 10,000 Nm. For both designs, the braking torque can be adjusted once the brakes are installed on-site.

Both organic and sinter metal brake pads are available. A completely encapsulated cylinder increases the protection level against damages and dirt.

On request, the electro-hydraulic brake systems can be designed with further technical options such as automatic wear adjustment, a manual release facility, a limit switch for brake condition and wear of pad, or inclination damping.

Main application fields for both systems are crane systems, winches and conveyor belts, steel plants and material handling.
