The FHB is an air cooled spring applied brake with exceptional friction life and rapid friction replacement capability. It is supplied with long wearing, organic friction material and a rugged solid cast, rotatingmore disc that provides lower inertia than typical caliper brakes.
Technical Introduction
The FHB brake is offered for applications with non-cyclic brake engagement that require higher speed operation or precise balance of the rotating components is required. It uses a solid rotor and stationary friction material to develop equal torque in either direction of rotation. The disc is mounted on the shaft which is to be stopped while the brake assembly is attached to the machine frame. Pressurizing the brake compresses the brake springs and withdraws the clamping force from the brake disc so the shaft can rotate freely. As air pressure is exhausted, the springs force the pressure plate towards the mounting flange and the spring housing which in turn forces the floating plate away from the mounting flange, clamping the disc and the friction pad assembly. less
