Disc brake pads supported on two pivoting brake levers - has levers held against wedge by expansion element, wedge transmitting brake force

摘要

The disc brake, for industrial machines, has two brake levers (7), pivoting at their lower ends (6) and supporting the brake pads (9) either side of the disc (1). The lever upper ends are formed with crossing angle arm portions (13), which are held by a hydraulic or spring expansion element (10), acting on the levers, against a rotating wedge element (12). A brake drive element w creates a brake pressure, transmitted via a lever arrangement (11) and the rotating wedge element to the brake levers and pads. USE/ADVANTAGE - Effective, fast-acting brake for industrial machine with reduced wear.
