Thruster Brake

We are offering thruster brake
introduction
thruster brake is a device used to retard the speed of moving machinery and to stop it accurately to the desired position. The braking force is applied to the brake shoes by a pre-stressed comprising spring. The shoes press on the rotating brake drum retarding its speed and finally stop it. The releasing of the brake drum and compressing of the spring is done by thruster
construction
rigid welded construction with accessible fixing.
Shoes self aligned, easily removable, high grade cast iron fitted with best quality fabric lining.
Compression spring are vertically mounted through the guide rod are held securely between guide plates.
operation
the braking pressure to the shoe is transmitted from the spring by mean of an extremely rigid and simple lever / tie rod mechanism. Braking is smooth and positive. Release of the brake shoes effected by energizing the 3 phase thruster which overcome the spring force & the shoe are moved clear off the drum by lever arm linkage system. The mechanism is balanced to give equal shoe clearance.
