Manually operated storm brake / rail clamp to protect crane systems or railbound machines against unwanted movements e.g. storm.
- Manually closing and opening
- Flange bolt mounted to front of rail vehicle
- Assembly of buffers possible
- Floating housing for lateral horizontal movement within the wheel flange clearance and rail displacement with roller guidance towards the rail – or – manual positioning with a lever
- clamp shoes are lifted above the top of rail when the clamp is opened, therefore no risk of collision exists for the jaws
- assembly of buffers of all types is possible, fastening devices for buffers are provided for each individual order
- bolts of stainless steel and lined bearings increase operational safety and lifetime
- disk spring package to maintain restraining force
- Restraining / Holding forces up to 100 kN per clamp
- Lifting device for clamp shoes
- Limit switches monitoring for clamp position
- Lateral compensation for rail misalignment ± 7 mm, with floating housing ± 25 mm
- Guidance of floating housing either with rollers or by a hand lever for the lateral positioning (Positioning with hand lever: Area sideways the rails stays free)
- Clamping jaws will be adjusted to the rail type (Please indicate rail type)
Technical benefits
- Technical flexibility
- High quality and safety level
- Reduction of maintenance and follow-up costs
Operating Principle
- Manually closing and opening with hand wheel
- Lifting device for clamp shoes
- Optional limit switches monitor clamp position closed or opened
