Gemco / Ametek Electro-Thrust Drum Brakes

The Gemco / Ametek Electro-Thrust Drum Brakes are a reliable and robust solution for your industrial braking needs. With over a decade of proven performance, these brakes are designed for fail-safe operation, utilizing a spring set mechanism that is released by an electro-hydraulic actuator. This innovative design ensures that the brakes engage automatically in the event of a power failure, providing peace of mind and enhanced safety.

Engineered for versatility, the Electro-Thrust Drum Brakes can be powered by either AC or DC, thanks to an integral motor that drives fluid motion within a twin cavity housing. This fluid motion applies pressure to a piston, overcoming the setting spring to release the brake. When power is cut, the spring gently re-engages the brake, ensuring smooth and reliable operation every time.

Available in AISE sizes ranging from 8" to 30" in diameter, these brakes offer impressive torque values from 100 to 9,000 foot-pounds. The Electro-Thrust Drum Brakes are also available in non-AISE rated versions, catering to a wide range of applications. Key features include adjustable setting time, self-centering capabilities, multiple voltage inputs, and a set delay valve, all contributing to their exceptional performance and adaptability.

For added customization, a variety of options are available, such as hand release, low temperature fluid, limit switches, and hydraulic over-ride. The brakes are constructed with high-quality materials, including asbestos-free brake linings and stainless steel pivot pins, ensuring durability and longevity. Whether you require floor mounting, corrosion-resistant fittings, or epoxy paint coatings, the Gemco / Ametek Electro-Thrust Drum Brakes can be tailored to meet your specific requirements.
