Series 56P Multi-Disc Brakes

Stationary Cylinder for Wet or Dry Operation

Series 56P spring-applied pressure-released brakes are designed for dynamic braking with oil in the discpack chamber, and can also be used dry as holding brakes. They are engaged by disc springs and disengaged by a pressure supply to the cylinder which moves the piston axially, compressing the disc springs and releasing the plates. The hub is usually fitted to the end of the shaft which is being braked.
