Failsafe Disc Brakes

The SIBRE range of Failsafe Disc Brakes is not only the most diverse in the market place, but also the most technologically advanced, from our compact CB range, to larger USB Thruster Disc Brakes, and all the way up to our SHI Hydraulically released emergency holding brakes.

The term “Failsafe” implies that the brakes are normally closed or “Spring Applied” and must be powered to open in order to allow the equipment they are protecting to operate.

In the event of a power loss or emergency stop situation, the brakes will Spring Apply, protecting the equipment and surrounding people, therefore making the system Failsafe.

SIBRE Failsafe Disc brakes are specifically designed for both static and dynamic applications that require one or more safety devices to prevent uncontrolled operation including, but not limited to:

• Conveyor Drives (defined under AS 4024 & AS 1755)
• Cranes, Hoists and Winches (defined under AS 1418 & AS 2550)
• Stackers, Reclaimers, Shiploaders and other types of bulk material processing equipment

There are a number of factors to consider when selecting the correct brake for an application, and our team are on hand to offer advice and work with you to ensure we select the most appropriate style of brake for your technical and budgetary requirements.

A diverse range of release options is also on offer, from solenoid and pneumatic actuators for our Compact (CB) and USB range, to the popular self-contained EMG Electro-Hydraulic Thruster units, up to our range of Standard and Custom Hydraulic Units.

And all exclusively manufactured and tested by our factory in Germany.
