Due to the premium cast aluminium, the R&H 050.402.01 does not rust. The brake has a compact design and supports flexible assembly, as the thruster side can be replaced on demand. This brake calliper is used as an emergency stop and holding brake in all fields of general-purpose mechanical engineering.
These systems have a wide range of use as holding brakes and emergency brakes that are locked by the spring when in a passive state. The release of the brake occurs hydraulically, pneumatically, or electrically. Examples of application are safety brakes in heavy industry, conveyor systems, all types of hoisting, and obviously in general mechanical engineering.
