Danfoss' Airflex Failsafe Caliper Brake.
Danfoss
The Airflex ACB-F3 is engineered for park-and-hold or emergency stop functionality in harsh environments, offering robust braking force and easy serviceability for applications in mining, oil and gas, marine, processing, and heavy machinery.
Features & Benefits:
- Failsafe Braking: Spring-applied, hydraulically released design ensures system safety in the event of power failure
- High Performance:
- Clamping force: 20–120 kN
- Braking force: 16–96 kN
- Release oil pressure: 40–190 bar (580–2,756 psi)
- Durability: Friction pads deliver up to 50% longer service life than competitive products
- Thermal Management: Large pad surface supports high thermal dissipation
- Modular Installation: Adaptable to various disc configurations; multiple calipers can be used per disc to increase braking torque
- Simplified Maintenance: Friction pads, seals, and springs can be replaced without removing the caliper
- Monitoring Options: Wear and engagement sensors available for remote diagnostics
- Corrosion-Resistant Version: Available for use in extreme environmental conditions
Ideal for high-torque applications in:
- Mining conveyors and hoists
- Grinding mills and drilling drawworks
- Marine winches and cranes
- Processing and energy systems
- Heavy-duty and remote industrial equipment
The ACB-F3 is the first model in a new brake series, with additional frame sizes to be released. Danfoss also offers complete braking systems including Vickers hydraulic power units, custom discs, hubs, and control systems.
