Caliper Safety Disc Brake Type SCFH
The Caliper Safety Disc Brake Type SCFH is an advanced solution for industrial caliper brake systems, designed specifically to deliver reliable safety and operational efficiency in heavy-duty applications. Engineered for use in demanding environments, this direct-acting, low-speed brake combines robust fail-safe performance with minimal maintenance requirements.
Key Features and Benefits
- Spring-applied braking force: Ensures immediate braking in emergency or power-loss situations (Fail Safe design).
- Hydraulic release: Efficient lifting of the brake by encapsulated hydraulic cylinders for sustained operation.
- Direct acting mechanism: Operates without lever transmission, maximizing reliability and minimizing wear.
- High clamping force: Provides pad forces up to 400 kN per clamp, with the possibility of combining clamps (e.g., 4 x SCFH-4 = 1600 kN total force).
- Directional independence: Generates high braking torque in either direction of rotation.
- Manual wear adjustment: Brake lining wear can be manually adjusted, extending the service life.
- Adjustable lifting gap: Customizable from 1 mm to 3 mm for precise application needs.
- Low-wear linings: Sintered brake linings equipped as standard for durability and reduced maintenance costs.
- Rugged construction: Both clamp halves are identical, fixed, and not floating for increased stability.
Areas of Application
- Crane systems
- Offshore platforms and marine environments
- Steel industry machinery
- Wind power installations
Available Options
- Monitoring equipment for brake open/close status and wear (specify up to 2 limit switches)
- Manual hand pump for hydraulic release
- Hydraulic power units for parallel clamp operation
- Variants for extreme ambient temperatures
- Fire-resistant hydraulic fluid systems
- Brake discs with hub or flange-mount console construction (custom clamp position and dimensions available upon request)
The SCFH brake’s completely encapsulated hydraulic system, robust construction, and reliable fail-safe operation make it a preferred choice for industrial and safety applications requiring assured performance and minimal intervention.
