Lever brakes from ATEK Drive Solutions: Innovative Elephant Brakes for industry
In modern industry, space-saving and high-performance brakes are in demand—systems that operate both flexibly and efficiently. With the Elephant Brakes, ATEK Drive Solutions is setting new standards in reliability, adaptability, and compactness, while also offering outstanding delivery times.
Caliper disc brakes – compact and robust
At the heart of the ATEK Elephant Brakes is a caliper-style lever brake specially developed for industrial use. Its key feature is the compact design, which requires only minimal axial installation space. This is a decisive advantage, especially for systems with limited available space. But it’s not just the design that convinces: these brakes are engineered for maximum robustness and respond extremely quickly—a clear benefit for the safety and efficiency of your plant.
Flexibility Through the Modular System
ATEK Drive Solutions understands that every application has its own individual requirements. That’s why the ATEK Elephant Brakes are based on a modular system. What does this mean in practice? The brakes can be precisely configured to suit your needs:
- Choice of actuation elements (e.g. pneumatic, hydraulic, mechanical, electric)
- Number of brake calipers can be individually adjusted
- Flexible disc diameter depending on the required torque
The open design of the system also allows the use of brake discs of any size—without limitations from restrictive enclosures or adapters.
Bi-directional Braking Without Servo Effect
Another unique feature of the ATEK Elephant Brakes: they are ideally suited for braking in both rotational directions. This is made possible by deliberately omitting the servo effect. As a result, the braking behavior always remains precise, predictable, and maximally safe.
