Original Equipment

Welded steel structure according to DIN 15435 - epoxy resin painting (2 coatings) - RAL 3000 final colouring.Manganese phosphated pins.Self-lubricating bushes on main joints.Light alloy drums with asbestos free bonded linings.Friction coefficient ?=0,42.Braking torque scale indicator.

Operation

The WESTCAR drum and disc brakes are negative type.The braking force is obtained by a spring, this one through a lever system, actuating the braking pad against the drum/discAn electrohydraulic or pneumatic thrustor is used to win the spring compression and opening the brake.The braking force of the linings against the drum can be modulated by adjusting the spring compression.Braking torque changes depending on the spring force modulation.

Optionals

Automatic wear compensation (RG).Linings max wear indicator (fitted on rod) (FCU).Open brake indicator, either fitted on thrustor or on spring set (to be specified) (FCA).Larger drum (50% wider) (L).Stainless steel pins (INOX)
