Drum Brakes

Thruster operated Drum Brakes operate on the same principle as MDT brakes but has improved features like elegant aesthetics and calibrated torque adjustment.

Features

• Robust and rugged design to withstand ardious enverionment in Steel and Rolling mills, Lifts and elevators, Cement and Concr plant machines.
• Good designs and manufacturing processes ensure reliable product.
• Consistant braking torque due to properly selected and tested brake liner material.
• The design ensures efficient destribution of forces.
• Sturdy components and Thruster ensure long, trouble free service and requires no major attention.
• Ease of maintainance and replacement of brake shoes without dismounting the brake.
• Compact designs and elegant aesthetic looks.
• Sychronising mechanism ensures equal drum-liner clearance.

Thruster brake is a device 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 compression spring. The shoes press on he rotaing brake drum retarding its speed, and finally stop it The releasing of the brake and compressing of the spring is done by thruster. Other release devices like pneumatic cylinder or manual release arrangements can be offered on request.
