ELOPHY Thruster Brake:
‘ELOPHY’ Thrusters Brakes:
The ‘ELOPHY’ Thruster Brakes are designed for better performance and ease of maintenance. Brake is a device to stop the rotating machinery / machinery part accurately to the desired position.
The breaking force is applied to brake shoes by a pre-stressed compression spring. The brake shoes depress the rotating brake drum to slow it down and eventually stop it. Speedage ELOPHY Thruster brakes are suitable for 400/440 Volt, three Phase A.C. supply for a wide range of drum sizes from 100 mm to 600 mm. Higher sizes can be supplied on request.
Construction:
1. Base/ Arms: Rigid welded construction with accessible fixing.
2. Shoes Self aligning, easily removable high grade cast iron fitted with best quality fabric linings. Designed with a large cooling surface and fitted with stop to prevent rubbing on drum when brake is open.
3. Springs: Compression Springs are vertically mounted through spring rods and securely held between spring cages. Springs are used to get desired braking torque. It depends on the brake size and thrusters capacity in that brake.
Working principle of Brake:
Braking force to the shoes is transmitted from the spring by means of Simple Lever and arm connecting assembly. Braking is very quick and smooth. Releasing of brake shoe affected by energizing the 3 phase motor of hydraulic thrusters which overcome the spring force and shoes are moved off from the drum by lever-arm linkage system.
This process generates force that gets transmitted to lever of brake by means of a piston rod. All operations of a Thruster are operated by an integral three phase squirrel cage motor.
Features of Thruster Brakes:
