Hydraulic Caliper Disc Brakes

KOR-PAK HYDRAULIC CALIPER DISC BRAKES

Kor-Pak provides an extensive portfolio of spring-set, hydraulic released caliper disc brakes that can accommodate extremely high torque requirements.

Our brakes are used in applications around the world including: drawworks, grinding mills, conveyors, crane/hoist, winches, ship loaders/unloaders, and many others.  Our lever and direct-acting caliper disc brakes contain features that create long life and the capability of withstanding harsh environmental conditions.  Whether it be designing brakes for a new application or retrofitting an existing one, Kor-Pak will meet your needs and provide you with hydraulic disc brakes that offer safe and reliable braking.

Lever Actuated Hydraulic Caliper Disc Brakes:

– Spring Set / Hydraulic Released Disc Brakes
– Hydraulic set / Spring Released Disc Brakes

 

•  MECHANISM – free-floating when set and self-centering
  when released
•  ACTUATION – spring set / hydraulic released, hydraulic set /
  spring released – spring compensated
•  MOUNTING – foot-mount or side-mount, actuators either
  handing
•  CONSTRUCTION – steel and ductile iron, or aluminum
  shoes, stainless steel pins standard
•  CONFIGURATION – single or double actuator, offset to
  either side of brake disc
•  LININGS – non-asbestos compositions to suit application
  requirements
•  DISCS – solid or ventilated, carbon or stainless steel, cast
  iron or non-ferrous
•  OPTIONS – special alloys, coatings, controls and custom
  mountings
•  APPLICATIONS -hoists / winches, conveyers, drives,
  processing machines
•  ENGINEERING -application and selection assistance
  available

Direct Spring Acting Hydraulic Disc Brakes:

Fast acting, requiring little maintenance and almost no lubrication, accommodating several applications and can endure harsh operating environments.  Used successfully for many applications such as emergency braking systems for Container Cranes and Ladle Cranes, Drawworks, Conveyors, and Logging Mills.

Direct Spring Brake Features: 

• Spring set, hydraulic pressure release
  
•  Self-contained removable actuators
  
•  Many spring stack options
  
•  Stroke / wear adjustment
  
•  Spring caging feature
  
•  Hydraulic pressure isolated from disc
  
•  Actuator manual release / retraction
  
•  Fixed assemblies with opposing actuators
  
•  Floating assemblies with low friction float bearings
  
•  Floating assemblies with single or opposing actuators
  
•  Narrow profile with actuators on one side
  
•  Single and multiple actuator assemblies
  
•  Optional bases for fixed and floating assemblies
  
•  Optional release and wear proximity – switches

• Flow through actuators – better oil filtering
