NHC 947 1000mm

The NHC 947 is a relatively low torque spring applied, hydraulically released, industrial disc brake.

This industrial brake is ideal for use as an emergency brake, where it is installed on an output shaft connected drive component, due to its fast response time and ability to handle higher rubbing speeds. It’s also commonly used as a holding brake where it can be a cost effective solution that requires minimal maintenance.

The NHC is a floating caliper model, meaning it uses a single spring configuration. When compared to a comparable fixed caliper brake, which uses a dual spring configuration, floating caliper brakes like the NHC are ideal for applications with lateral space constraints. In situations where lateral space is not constrained, consider a comparable fixed caliper model like an NHCD brake.

This versatile fail-safe brake is used in a wide range of industrial applications including on hoists, cranes, and winches in ports, steel mills, and mining applications. It is also used on other types of material handling equipment, for instance in the pulp and paper industry.
