Technical Information

SIEMAG TECBERG disc brakes for winders and winches are built in modular design. They are suited for various applications and can be upgraded to improved characteristics. The brake systems consist of the following components:

• brake posts with brake units
• hydraulic system
• electrical brake control

The components keyed to the particular winder guarantee safe braking during normal operation as well as during emergency braking taking always into consideration the relevant regulations. The initiation of the braking force is monitored in order to preserve the hoisting equipment and to avoid rope slip in case of Koepe winders.
All elements related to safety are installed in duplicate which means that the hydraulic safety circuit is redundant.
