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.
