It’s a known problem with electric motors; bearings fail prematurely
due to misalignment and v ibration, causing downtime and increased
maintenance costs. Choose quality to reduce these failures by half……
Insist on a KTR coupling. Any pump to any motor, we’ve got a coupling
to suit the job and our split hub ROTEX® and BoWex® designs offer
one of the quickest maintenance turnarounds in the industry!

New development:
Active fixed caliper brake
T
he brake specialists of KTR
have developed an active
fixed caliper brake whose
pads can easily be replaced
in assembled condition. On request
the system can be designed with an
automatic air gap regulation. The new
series of the KTR-STOP® line generates
clamping forces up to 203 kN and can
be used in the low temperature range
up to -40 °C. KTR is going to present
the brake system at the HUSUM Wind
(hall 5, booth C04) for the first time.
The active fixed caliper brake of the
KTR-STOP® line is hydraulically driven
and can be used both as an operating
and as a stop brake. Its friction pads
are available in “organic” or “powder
metal” material and can easily be
replaced in assembled condition. For
this the side screws are loosened, the
pad holders are removed and the pads
are pulled out to the sides.
On request the brakes can be designed
with an automatic air gap regulation
(CAG system “Constant Air Gap”). It
60
PECM Issue 17
regulates the distance between pads
and brake disk and thus keeps the
reaction time of the brake constant.
At present the new series is available
in the sizes KTR-STOP® S-D and
KTRSTOP® M-D. With a weight of
68 or 76 kg the compactly designed
highperformance brakes generate
maximum clamping forces of 141 or
203 kN. The series is completely made
from steel and can be used in the low
temperature range of up to -40 °C.
