Tests are performed on a universal brake test bench for rotor and yaw brakes, a tension test bench, a vibrating table or a cryogenic temperature cooling chamber allowing for tests with ambient temperatures down to -40 ☌.

Developing and producing brake systems, tests and functional testing of prototypes and serial products are performed here as well. It is here that KTR pools its activities for brakes under the umbrella of KTR Brake Systems GmbH. The brakes are selected and adapted in KTR’s competence centre for brake systems, in Germany. They can be used both as service brakes, for high numbers of cycles, and as holding brakes. from publication: Overview of disc brakes and related phenomena - A review.

#Floating caliper series

The new floating caliper XS brakes series is intended for applications in the most demanding environmental conditions, both above or underground, onshore or offshore. Download scientific diagram Schematic representation of a floating caliper. KTR-STOP hydraulic, spring-operated floating caliper brake: The spring-operated floating caliper brake KTR-STOP works without any axial forces. In addition, the one-piece design has allowed us to extend the guide pins and double the number of bushings, improving the brake’s floating operation and the efficiency of transmission of force from the caliper to the base plate. Item 28284: Rubber Boot I, front brake caliper, top position (floating caliper attachment), OEM reference 3JD-25917-00. Our range of passive floating caliper brakes (brakes and brake systems) includes hydraulic spring-operated floating caliper brakes (KTR-STOP) and electromechanical floating caliper brakes (EMP-STOP). “This has improved the brake’s corrosion resistance. The brakes are mounted to the respective machine each by two screws size M16.įabian Liekam, KTR’s product manager for Brake Systems, said: “Since the brake caliper of the new series is made of one piece, there are no more exposed contact surfaces. Depending on the application’s preference and basic conditions, the XS brake can be operated either hydraulically or electromechanically, with clamping forces up to 15kN being generated in the passive design and 16.5 kN in the active design. The brake pads are made of ‘organic mixture’ or ‘sinter metal’ and can be easily replaced by one single person. Brembo fixed calipers are available in both radial and axial mount configurations, whereas Brembo floating calipers are available as single or dual piston. All other components such as pad retainers, pistons and guide pins are made of steel. This makes the floating caliper brakes suitable for sub-zero applications with temperatures ranging down to -40 ☌. The brake caliper of the new XS series combines the housing, spacer plate, and counter plate as one piece and is made of special LT nodular iron. The brakes are suitable for sub-zero applications with temperatures ranging down to -40 ☌. The XS series is available with a hydraulic or an electromechanical operating principle and can be operated in both active and passive modes.
