Brake Calipers

Electric & mechanical brake calipers

Electric & mechanical brake calipers are spring applied units designed to retract mechanically or electronically while most direct acting brakes have some form of positive retraction device. They are used in various elevator, marine, & mining applications and are a simple solution for stopping, holding, and locking out for safe equipment control during maintenance.

Mechanical brake calipers, also known as lock out brakes, are mechanical manually-actuated caliper disk brakes, which easily adapt to standard shaft couplings. Electric brake calipers are a “clean” alternative to hydraulic or pneumatic calipers as well as shoe brakes.
