Our industrial disc brakes and braking systems are designed for applications where a safety device is needed to prevent the uncontrolled operation of industrial machinery such as cranes, hoists, and winches.

We use several different types of fail-safe disc brakes in our industrial braking systems including caliper disc brakes (fixed and floating) and linkage-style thruster disc brakes.

Spring applied disc brakes are released (or held open) using either hydraulics, electromagnetics, pneumatics, or with an electrohydraulic thruster. We work with the customer to design the ideal braking system for the specific requirements of your unique application.

As compared to industrial drum brakes, disc brakes are capable of producing higher torque levels and can handle higher rubbing speeds. Fail-safe disc brakes are also able to handle higher disc and pad surface temperatures during an e-stop and dissipate heat faster than industrial drum brakes.

We also provide all the necessary components and accessories for our industrial disc braking systems including brake disc/hub assemblies, various types of couplings, hydraulic power units, and enclosures.

As with all of our engineered products, we provide comprehensive support including technical troubleshooting and repair services for our industrial disc brakes and electrohydraulic thrusters.

We encourage you to use our advanced search function below to get a sense for the types of disc brakes we use in our industrial braking systems. However, please note that not every brake model is featured in this search function and selection of brake features/options is also critical.

Our team of experts is experienced in supporting customers with the goal of providing the best braking system for your application, so when you’re ready to talk to a real person, please contact us – we’d love understand your application and support you however we can!
