RINGSPANN- Disc Brakes can be used for various functions, i.e.

as a parking brake it prevents the unintended start of a stationary shaft;
as a stopping brake it brings a rotating shaft to a standstill in a short time, even when this is only in connection with a power failure or emergency stop;
as a control brake it maintains a certain tension in the material.

Brake callipers or brake saddles may be arranged in any position on disc brakes of varying diameters. By using several brake callipers on the same disc it is possible to increase the brake torque without the need to enlarge the installation dimensions to any great extend. All brakes are available with an electric wear indicator and with automatic wear adjustment.
