The SITEMA Safety Brake type KSP is designed to hold a vertical moved mass in one direction (against gravity). The holding is done on a round shaft. This could be an already existing cylinder rod or a separate rod. The Safety Catcher can also be used to catch the falling load in case of an emergency-stop. The holding force is relatively big in one direction (downwards) and in the other direction (upwards) relatively small.
Safety brakes are already used in the following applications
- vertical or diagonal station tool axes
- vertical axes of loaders
Pneumatic clamping with high forces
Optimum safety clamping - if the pneumatic fail the system is locked
The values of hydraulic manufacturer of clamps are reached and exceeded
Low system costs in comparison to hydraulics
Simple installation
Compact design
Wide range for many shaft sizes can be delivered
