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.
Overview
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
