KTR product innovation: hydraulic
clamping and brake system with a
failsafe function
KTR has developed a clamping system that is able to
clamp both axial forces and torque. In emergency cases
it is even able to brake. The passive clamping and brake
system KTR-STOP® NC is hydraulically driven and offers a
multifunctional use. KTR will exhibit this novelty at Motek
in Stuttgart (hall 8, stand 8204) and EMO in Milan.
T
he passive clamping and
brake system KTR-STOP®
NC clamps the shafts
from ball screw drives,
linear drives or bar guides, holding
tool tables and work pieces in place.
The clamping increases the system
stiffness and reduces vibrations
ensuring an accurate manufacturing
process. Additionally, the system offers
a failsafe function: when unplanned
loss of hydraulic pressure or an engine
failure occurs the NC assumes the
function of a brake and closes within
milliseconds.

The robust and compactly designed
KTR-STOP® NC can be used as an
integrated solution between engine and
spindle or as a plug-in system at the
end of the spindle.
The new clamping and brake system
is available in size 32 for shaft
dimensions from 18 to 25 mm. The
performance level includes a maximum
holding torque of 110 Nm as well as a
maximum holding force of 8,800N. The
dimensions of this series are 96 x 96 x
86 mm with a weight of 5.5 kg. Further
sizes with a higher performance level
are being planned.
