VCS Series
Hydraulically Released
Caliper Brakes

  • The VCS Caliper is comprised of two modules located on either side of a mounting plate which could be made to accommodate brake discs of 20mm and over. Each module consists of a spring pack to provide the clamping/braking force. Minimum disc diameter is 500 mm.
  • Protects against ascending overspeed and unintended movement on elevators
  • Ensures stoppage in a smooth and safe manner when
  • experiencing power or other system failure on escalators
  • Braking force from 14 kN to 62 kN
  • Highly modular - greater braking torques achievable with use of multiple brakes
  • Low pad pressures - Pad area = 296.8 cm2 (2 pads)
  • Particular strength with long, heavy-duty escalators
  • Hydraulic power supply units also available
