Brakes

COMPONENTS OF SHB

SHB drum and disc brakes are mechanical friction brakes that are mainly used to ensure or reduce the speed of moving masses or to hold stationary masses. They are used as service, emergency stop or holding brakes. The kinetic or potential energy absorbed during braking is converted into heat.

SHB drum and disc brakes work according to the "fail-safe" principle as standard. They are actuated via pressure or disk springs and opened hydraulically. The brake closes if the primary energy is switched off or fails.

Special designs
We develop customer and market-specific special solutions for a wide variety of applications in which the type of actuation, mode of operation or installation situation deviate from the standard series.
