Brakes
GS Global Resources is proud to offer Eskridge’s line of Multiple-Disc Brakes (parking brakes) from 200 to 30,000 in-lbs. All brakes are burnished in and tested for correct holding torque prior to shipment.
General Information about Brakes:
Brakes:
- Used for parking only not as a drag brake. (See special caliper brakes for drag brake options.)
- Mounted on the input side of boxes where there is more leverage, between the box and hydraulic motor
- Must be careful to not oversize a brake for the rating of a gearbox
- Most are hydraulic release (brake off) and spring applied (brake on)
- Configurations consist of:
- Pilot size of the base (needs to match the pilot size of the gearbox)
- Pilot size of cover (needs to match customer’s motor pilot)
- The output side of the shaft (needs to mate with gearbox input)
- The input side of the shaft (needs to mate with customer’s motor shaft)
- Holding torque
- Flow through option for cooling
- Optional friction packs
- Some gearboxes have integral brake options
Make Sure Your Brake Will Stop! Don’t forget to order a Master Rebuild Kit. Why? Because for obvious safety reasons, you want your brake to work like new.
