Sibre Type TEXU Disc Brakes

Often found on mining, marine and steel mill equipment, the TEXU from SIBRE is a high performance twin caliper disc brake that transmits the braking force to the disc on two symmetrical points.

The brake is also equipped with a synchronization linkage to ensure an evenly spaced out air gap at all 4 linings, as well as an automatic wear compensation system.

Benefits

For the OEM

• Reduced costs for gear box due to:
  • reduced distance between input and output shaft
  • shorter input shaft
  • smaller bearing of input shaft
• reduced costs fo brake disc, e-tech and control system

For the Operator

• Reduced investment costs
• Reduced operating costs due to reduced size of disc
• Increased efficiency due to reduced inertia of disc
• Increase coeff. of friction = increased torque = increased safety for emergency stops from overspeed
• Safe handling under power failure conditions
