About Spring-Applied Brakes
Knott Vortex offers spring-applied brakes designed for dependable braking performance in applications where safe stopping and holding are essential. These brake systems are suitable for industrial and mobile equipment that require reliable
braking action under demanding operating conditions.
Overview
Spring-Applied Brake
Spring-applied brakes work on the fail-safe principle. In normal operating conditions, the brake remains released through a constant pressure supply. In the event of a pressure drop, braking is automatically initiated by the integrated spring mechanism, helping ensure safe and dependable operation. This type of brake is particularly suitable for parking and holding functions in applications where safety and reliability are critical.
