Lever brakes from ATEK Drive Solutions: Innovative Elephant Brakes for the industry

In modern industry, compact and powerful brakes are in demand, which work both flexibly and efficiently. ATEK Drive Solutions sets new standards with the Elephant Brakes in terms of reliability, adaptability, and compactness with an excellent delivery time.

Pincer-type disc brakes – space-saving and robust

The centerpiece of the ATEK Elephant Brakes is a pincer-type lever brake specifically developed for industrial use. Its essential feature is the compact design, which requires minimal axial space. This is particularly advantageous in systems with limited space availability. But it’s not just the design that convinces: the brakes are designed for maximum robustness and respond extremely quickly – a clear plus for the safety and efficiency of your system.

Flexibility through the modular system

ATEK Drive Solutions knows that every application has individual requirements. That’s why the ATEK Elephant Brakes concept is based on a modular system. What does that mean in concrete terms? The brakes can be precisely tailored to your needs:

  • Choice of actuation elements (e.g. pneumatic, hydraulic, mechanical, electric)
  • Number of brake calipers individually adjustable
  • Flexible disc diameter depending on the desired torque


The open design of the systems also allows for the use of brake discs of any size – without constraints from limiting housings or adapters.

Bidirectional braking without servo effect

Another unique feature of the ATEK Elephant Brakes. They are ideal for braking processes in both rotational directions. This is possible because a servo effect was intentionally avoided. Thus, the braking behavior remains accurate, predictable, and maximally safe.

Application areas for lever brakes from ATEK Drive Solutions

The versatile lever brakes from ATEK Drive Solutions are perfectly suited for:

  • Conveyor systems
  • Lifting devices
  • Cranes
  • Wind turbines
  • Special machine construction
  • and many other industrial applications

With the ATEK Elephant Brakes, you receive a well-thought-out, individually configurable, and extremely space-saving solution for industrial braking applications. ATEK Drive Solutions offers maximum flexibility, safety, and reliability with this system – Made in Germany. If you want to equip your systems with robust, flexible, and low-maintenance lever brakes, ATEK Elephant Brakes are the right choice.
