Disc brake systems and components
Reliable braking systems and precise stopping of rotating masses.
The reliability and innovations of TWIFLEX in braking systems is an engineering solution that will address the most ambitious tasks for high-tech drive units and assemblies.
TWIFLEX is a leading global manufacturer of industrial disc braking systems. It offers the widest range of caliper brakes, powered pneumatically, hydraulically, or mechanically, as well as complete braking system kits, flexible couplings, and innovative motion control solutions. These products provide reliable braking, holding, and emergency stopping in a variety of industrial conditions where safety and precision are critically important.
Key Features:
- The widest range of caliper brakes in the world: pneumatic, hydraulic, and mechanical.
- Quick replacement of asbestos-free pads — for convenient servicing and minimizing downtime.
- Compact brake module with a single drive — convenience for integration into the system.
- Various series of drives (MU, MS, MR, VCS, GMR, etc.) for a wide range of load spectrums and operating conditions: from light to heavy industrial applications.
- Floating design VCS-FL and VKSD-FL — for limited space or axial displacement compensation of the disc.
- Compatibility with pressure control systems: pneumatic, hydraulic, electric options — for flexible integration into control systems.
Applications:
- Metallurgical production: stopping and holding in rolling mills, crushing installations, crane systems.
- Mining sector: emergency braking on conveyors, elevators, ore crushers, loading and unloading mechanisms.
- Energy: control of high-speed movements in wind and tidal turbines, control of drilling equipment drives.
- Amusement rides: speed management, safe stopping of rides, stage platforms, monorails, etc.
- Maritime industry: braking solutions for main transmission shafts of ships, tugboats, cruise liners, where precision and reliability are required.
Advantages:
- Easy to select a solution for any industry and working conditions (from light to extremely heavy applications).
- Convenient integration into existing control systems (pneumatic, hydraulic, mechanical, electrical drive types).
- Minimal equipment downtime and safe maintenance.
- Space savings and intuitive installation.
- Possibility of use in limited conditions and axial displacement compensation of the disk.
- Ensuring safety even in the most critical industrial processes.
- Reduction of repair and maintenance costs.
- Easy access to spare parts and consultations in different regions and convenient ways.
TWIFLEX offers a wide range of configurations to adapt to specific applications:
- MU Series — the smallest drive solutions designed for light stops and holding. Can be placed on the left or right; minimum disk diameter — 150 mm.
- MS / MR / GMR / GMR40 Series — from medium to large disks (from 250 mm to 610 mm), various drive options and installation designs.
- VCS Mk3 / VCS-FL — double modules, ideal for compact spaces or axial disk movement; braking force up to 62 kN.
- VKSD / VKSD-FL Series — for the largest disks (min. 1000 mm); “parking” feature for quick pad replacement, moment adjustment right on site.
