Industrial Clutch LKB Brake for Mine Crusher
A U.S. mine equipment manufacturer needed a robust, reliable brake solution
for one of its larger crushers. The brake provides emergency stop functionality in
case of a jam or other problem conditions.
Industrial Clutch supplied a 21" diameter LKB 217 brake with 74,460 in.lb. torque
capacity to meet the crusher application requirements.
Heavy-duty LKB brakes feature high-energy metallic linings with large swept
areas, ensuring excellent heat dissipation, uniform stopping distances and long
lining life. Units also feature high-strength alloy steel drive studs, actuation springs
sized for maximum life, and long-life piston seals. Long spline lengths on the
brake discs maximize load-carrying capacity.
