Twiflex VMS-3 brakes deliver superior performance, providing greater braking force for mine hoist applications

摘要

Twiflex, Ltd. has launched a larger, enhanced version of its highly successful VMS-2-SP safety brake, aimed specifically at the demanding mine hoist market. Like the VMS-2, the VMS-3 is a spring applied, hydraulically released safety brake, but offers faster operation and superior performance, delivering a maximum static brake force of 300kN (with 1mm air gap), and 230kN (with 3mm air gap) of dynamic braking force, with the added benefit of infinite fatigue life.
