Thruster Brakes

We offer Thruster Brakes to the clients. Thruster Brake is a device used to retard the speed of moving machinery and to stop it accurately to the desired position. The braking force is applied to the brake shoes by a pre-stressed comprising spring. The shoes press on the rotating brake drum retarding its speed and finally stop it. The releasing of the brake drum and compressing of the spring is done by Thruster Brake.
Construction :

• Rigid welded construction with accessible fixing.
• Self aligned easily removable shoes
• High grade cast iron fitted with best quality fabric lining
• Compression spring are vertically mounted through the guide rod are held securely between guide plates

Operation : The braking pressure to the shoe is transmitted from the spring by means of an extremely rigid and simple lever / tie rod mechanism. Braking is smooth and positive. Release of the brake shoes is affected by energizing the 3 phase thruster which overcomes the spring force & the shoes are moved to clear off the drum by lever arm linkage system. The mechanism is balanced to give equal shoe clearance.
