KTR PRESENTS NEW PNEUMATIC BRAKE SYSTEM

The KTR-STOP PB can be used as an operating or holding brake being operated either actively or passively. It is designed as a construction kit system and available in seven sizes with braking forces of up to 31 kN.

KTR-STOP PB consists of two brake levers that are swivel-mounted in the caliper housing. On the one end of the brake levers there are the brake pads with brake shoes and retaining springs. On the other end there is the brake cylinder. The return springs and the splash plate are mounted on this side, too. Clamping of the brake is based on the principle of „action equals reaction“ so that one brake cylinder is required at a time to apply the brake.

Modular system enables many possible combinations
Some sizes can be provided with a sensor for checking the braking condition (brake released or applied). Depending on the application, the pneumatic caliper brake is provided with different brake pads. Here KTR is in a position to select between various compounds. If requested, the wear of pad can be monitored by a wear sensor in the brake pads.
