Automatic wear compensation brakes are used where stable braking torque is required throughout the life of the shoes without the need for frequent manual adjustment.
The design continuously compensates for the loss of friction material so that the braking torque remains within a defined range and the brake response is repeatable even with a high number of duty cycles.
This increases operational safety, reduces maintenance interventions and reduces the risk of incorrect settings.
Lift brakes consist of a lever mechanism and a pair of shoes, through which a braking action is exerted on the rotating brake drum by means of an electro-hydraulic brake release. The friction surfaces of the shoes are coated with a suitable friction material for the specific brake application.
Brake design dimensions and other technical parameters can be adapted to specific customer requirements.
