The Electromagnetic Caliper Disc Brakes are designed for industrial deceleration, holding, and braking applications across heavy-duty machinery and material handling systems. Combining the advantages of electromagnetic actuation and caliper disc brake technology, these brakes provide stable braking performance, rapid response, and reliable operation in demanding industrial environments.
OEM customization, special specifications, and additional functional configurations are available for industrial projects and equipment manufacturers worldwide.
Operating Conditions
For optimal performance, the DCPZ Series is designed to operate under the following conditions:
- Ambient temperature: -20°C to +50°C
- Relative humidity: ≤ 90%
- Installation altitude: ≤ 2000 m
- Power supply: AC 380V, 50Hz
- Free from flammable, explosive, corrosive gases, and conductive dust.
For outdoor environments exposed to rain, snow, salt spray, or corrosive media, anti-corrosion versions are available.
Why Global Procurement Professionals Choose the DCPZ Series
Energy-Efficient Operation: Dual-stage current control reduces operating current from the startup level of 3–3.5 A to a maintenance current of only 0.1–0.3 A, minimizing continuous power consumption.
High-Duty Performance: Supports up to 1,200 cycles per hour, ideal for heavy-duty industrial automation and hoisting.
Flexible Disc Compatibility: Works with large-diameter discs (≥600 mm) and supports custom thicknesses and functions.
Easy Maintenance: Modular caliper design enables fast inspection, pad replacement, and straightforward installation.
Spring-Applied Fail-Safe Design: Automatically engages braking when power is lost, enhancing operational safety.
Working Principle
The DCPZ Series Electromagnetic Caliper Disc Brakes consist of a brake bracket and an electromagnetic actuator.
Brake Release (Power On): When energized by a 380V AC power supply, the electromagnet compresses the spring and drives the brake arms apart, releasing the friction pads from the disc.
Brake Engagement (Power Off): When power is removed, the spring force automatically clamps the friction pads onto the disc, generating reliable braking torque for fail-safe operation.
Core Applications & Industry Sectors
The DCPZ Series Electromagnetic Caliper Disc Brake is widely deployed worldwide for deceleration, holding, and tension control across critical heavy industries:
Hoisting & Material Handling: Overhead cranes, gantry cranes, and port machinery (container spreaders, winches).
Mining & Metallurgy: Heavy-duty belt conveyors, stacker-reclaimers, and steel rolling mills.
Processing & Tension Control: Continuous tensioning machinery in wire/cable manufacturing, papermaking systems, and steel plate processing lines.
