Thruster brake is a device used to retard the speed of moving machinery and to stop it accurately to the desired position. The braking force is applied to the brake shoes by a pre-stressed comprising spring. The shoes press on the rotating brake drum retarding its speed and finally stop it. The releasing of the brake drum and compressing of the spring is done by thruster.

Introduction Clutch is used to transmit the power only & Brake is used to stop machine only. When starting & stopping both are to be controlled, Clutch and Brake both are to be controlled; Clutch and Brake both are required. Clutch will engage drive to machine and when brake is applied clutch will only disconnect drive from machine and brake will stop machine only. The drive will keep rotating. This is ideal for inching operation. These are in two parts: 1) Magnet Body & 2) Armature Plate. These Clutches / Brakes engage when current is supplied to them. Slip rings are fitted to clutch only. The liner wear can be adjusted and wearing parts are replaceable. A sprocket, gear or pulley can be mounted if desired.

Introduction Geared couplings are used to connect two different shafts or offset shafts. Geared couplings are made of EN material to absorb shocks. Geared coupling consists of gear which transmit the motion smoothly by absorbing shocks.

Introduction For infallible operation of machinery, modern methods are necessary, any machine which requires its motion to be controlled, whether it is a lifting Crane, Hoist, Winch or Mining Haulage today employs an Electro Magnetic Brake, enabling the operator not only to control the motion but also to hold the load at any desired point without danger of falling, merely by release of the starting handle. Electro magnetic Brake is adequate equipment for safer operations of machinery. Electro magnetic Brakes are used when a load must be stopped rapidly to prevent it from rotating. Electro Magnetic Brakes find its use in Paper Mills, Drives of certain textile machines, Sugar Mill Machinery, Rubber Mixing Mills. .. Assembly and Function  The Shoes are of cast iron and other components are of fabricated steel. The lever is hinged on the main arm, which is connected to the side arm through a tie rod, and is stressed by a pre-loaded compression spring. The compression of the spring can be adjusted to set the braking torque to desired value. The brake liner of selected quality material is riveted to the shoes by aluminum rivets. A.C. solenoid with laminated magnetic sheet steel houses a copper magnetizing coil which is impregnated with Class F materials. The plunger which is connected to the lever, is drawn in to the coil, when it is energized with AC source. This loads the spring and releases the brake shoes from the brake drum. When the supply is cut off, the plunger is pulled out of the coil, and spring force clamps the brake shoes on the brake drum and the brake is applied.

Thruster brake is a device used to retard the speed of moving machinery and to stop it accurately to the desired position. The braking force is applied to the brake shoes by a pre-stressed comprising spring. The shoes press on the rotating brake drum retarding its speed and finally stop it.

The braking force is applied to the brake shoes by a pre-stressed comprising spring. The shoes press on the rotating brake drum retarding its speed and finally stop it. The releasing of the brake drum and compressing of the spring is done by thruster. Assembly and Function  A thruster shoe brake has a pair of cast iron shoes which are lined up with friction pads. The shoes are hinged on main arm and side arm of the brake, each of them have a hinge pin fitted in the base. They are connected to each other on top by a tie rod, which is hinged in the main arm and locked to the swivel block in the side arm, by a lock nut. A crank lever is hinged on the main arm and the other end is fixed to the top clevis of the thruster by a hinge pin. A brake spring is fixed on the main arm and is pre-loaded by a locknut on the lever. The pre-tension in this spring decides the braking torque. The thruster is fitted on the base by a hinge pin. When the thruster is not energized, the brake shoes are pressed on the brake drum fitted on the drive motor shaft and hold it under the effect of braking force provided by the spring. In such condition, the brake is applied and the drum cannot rotate. As the piston travels upwards the angle lever turns, pushes the brake rod and compresses the brake spring. Simultaneously, the brake lever on the other side of the wheel (Brake Drum) is retracted. When the first lever reaches the stop on the brake base member the brake lever at the thruster begins to move, releasing the brake drum.    Features: Rugged design Consistent braking performance Robust in construction Long life Trouble free maintenance Easy in service  

Introduction In addition to wide range of applications in mechanical engineering applications, the thruster operated drum brakes are mainly used in material lifting and handling equipment, mainly because their 'Fial-to-safety' designs ensure safety to men and machines in the event of over failure. With the advancement in electricl drives and electronics, the drives have pushed the mechanical systems to high level of operations and demanding safer and reliable braking loads moving at much higher speeds than earlier. Continuous developments in product improvisation and assured quality checks, the thrusters offer compact, reliable yet economical solutions to most of the industrial applications.. Assembly and Function  The two main sub-assemblies of the hydraulic thruster, the electric motor and the hydraulic unit are co-axially assembled form the working unit. In the switched off state (de-energised) the piston is at its lowest position due to external load (as brake spring of the drum brake), and the brake is applied. When energized, the electric motor drives the pump and delivers working fluid under the piston axially in the guided path, and delivers thrust or force required to operate the attached devise (like thruster brake) via the piston rod and the eye-lug attached to it. The working stroke can be steplessly controlled by external load. The thruster is designed for long trouble free service. The motor windings are designed to meet contingencies. The bearings are adequately sized. Features: Gentle Application and release of brake without jerks and shocks Compact unit Constant magnitude Self aligned movement Low power consumption Minimum maintainance Easy mounting and dismounting  

Introduction Very compact and modern in design. Foundation is not necessary as they are directly mounted on non-driving end shaft of the motor. It consist of Liner Plates (Brake Disc) with square hole ate the centre. One corresponding piece of square hub is supplied with the Brake. This hub is keyed to the motor shaft and the Liner Plate is free on this hub. Normally Liner Plate is gripped between two discs with the help of Spring Pressure. They work on 230 / 415 V.A.C. When the current is supplied to the brake one disc is attracted by electromagnet against spring pressure and Liner Plate is released. Thus the Brake is 'off'. Once the Brake is set it does not require adjustment or maintenance. When the liner plate wears with the use then only air gap is required to be maintained periodically. An arrangement to release the brake manually could be provided on request
