Reliable brake solutions for demanding environments – now with pneumatic actuation!
What exactly is a stainless steel spring brake with pneumatic release?
A stainless steel spring brake with pneumatic release is a braking system that uses spring force for braking and compressed air for releasing the brake . The stainless steel design ensures corrosion resistance and hygiene, making it ideal for demanding industrial applications.
What main advantages does the pneumatic release offer in these brakes?
The pneumatic release enables fast switching times (often under 100 ms), a robust performance even under vibrations and temperatures up to 80°C, an easy system integration and an inherent fail-safe function, which activates immediately in case of air supply failure, thereby increasing system safety.
In which industries are stainless steel spring brakes with pneumatic release typically used?
They are ideal for the machine and plant engineering, the food and pharmaceutical industry (thanks to stainless steel V4A and GMP compliance), the packaging technology, renewable energy (e.g. in wind turbines) and the stage technology, where reliability and safety are crucial.
Why is stainless steel, especially V4A, important for these brakes?
Stainless steel, particularly V4A (e.g. material numbers 1.4404 or 1.4571), provides excellent corrosion resistance against aggressive media and cleaning agents. This prevents contamination, facilitates cleaning (can shorten cleaning cycles by up to 20%) and ensures a long lifespan in hygiene-critical areas.
What does “fail-safe” mean in the context of these spring brakes?
“Fail-safe” means that the brake automatically closes by spring force, as soon as the power supply (in this case, the compressed air) fails. This is a critical safety aspect, preventing machine damage and accidents and can, for example, reduce safety incidents in crane systems by up to 15%. What are key criteria for selecting a suitable stainless steel spring brake?
Key criteria include the
correct material selection of the stainless steel (e.g. V2A for general applications, V4A for aggressive media), the braking torque precisely tuned to the application (a sizing overdimension of 25% as a safety factor is common practice), the appropriate size for the installation situation, the pneumatic requirements (operating pressure usually 5-8 bar, quality of the compressed air) and the compliance with relevant standards such as DIN ISO 1219 for pneumatic circuit diagrams. wie DIN ISO 1219 für pneumatische Schaltpläne.

Operating principle: spring force and compressed air
To release the Stainless steel spring brake with pneumatic release a pneumatic cylinder with a standard operating pressure of about 6 bar overcomes the force of the embedded springs. This mechanism allows for fast switching times, often under 100 milliseconds.
- Efficient release: A pneumatic cylinder, typically with 6 bar operating pressure, overcomes the spring force to open the brake.
- High switching speed: The mechanics allow for very fast switching times, often in the range of under 100 milliseconds.
- Rapid response: Pneumatic control is characterized by short reaction times.
- Robust performance: High insensitivity to vibrations and temperature fluctuations up to 80°C.
- Industrial suitability: Ideal for use in challenging industrial environments.
- Inherent safety (fail-safe): In case of air supply failure, the brake engages immediately through spring force, preventing machine damage and accidents.
