The DiskClamp achieves its short reaction time and high holding forces thanks to the principle of spring accumulators: the springs are kept away from the axle by the supply of compressed air. If the air supply fails, the energy stored in the springs escapes and presses it against the clamping elements, which in turn fix the axle securely and with great force. For the emergency braking function, the DiskClamp is also equipped with brake pads: it can therefore be used not only to fix static loads, but also to brake moving masses for a short time.
advantages with DiskClamp
High performance
The DiskClamp can generate very high holding forces with the help of the booster mode
