The SHI caliper brakes from SIBRE are used as holding and emergency stop brakes in case of failure. They are often found in applications such as hoists, cranes, large belt conveyor systems, cable cars, etc.
The SHI series consists of two independent valves with hydraulic cylinders and facing spring loaders. The lining support is held by guide bolts which absorbs brake energy. The lining support is hydraulically retracted during operation.
