3.3.8 Brake
The spring-applied brake is a single-disk brake with two friction surfaces. Several compression springs
create the braking torque by friction locking. The brake is released electromagnetically.

“Double brake version”
The spring-applied brake is designed for the conversion of mechanical work and kinetic energy into heat. For
operating speed. Due to the static brake torque, the brake can hold loads without speed difference.
Emergency braking is possible at high speed. The more friction work, the higher the wear.
