Brake systems
Whoever talks about driving must be able to slow down - KTR is a manufacturer of brakes. The "Competence Center for Brake Systems" is located in Schloß-Holte-Stukenbrock in Eastern Westphalia and the headquarters of KTR Brake Systems GmbH.
Being one of the few manufacturers worldwide, KTR provides three different brake systems: the hydraulic KTR-STOP, the electromechanical EMB-STOP and the pneumatic KTR-STOP PB. Our hydraulic, electromechanical and pneumatic brake systems are globally used in various industries. Customer preference and parameters of the application decide upon the selection of the right brake.
Caliper brakes
Our portfolio of caliper brakes comprises active and passive brakes, each as a pneumatic type.
Floating caliper brakes
Our range of floating caliper brakes includes passive and active floating caliper brakes, each as a hydraulic or electromechanical version.
Fixed caliper brakes
Our range of fixed caliper brakes covers passive and active fixed caliper brakes in a hydraulic version.
STOP-BLOCK-TURN system
For ship propulsion up to 25 MW per propeller shaft
EMB-STOP SBT (Stop Block Turn brake) is made up of one or several disk brakes, locking elements and turn devices.
Our SBT devices (Stop - Block - Turn) are mainly used on propeller shafts in marine applications: ranging from small yachts to cruise ships or large supply vessels.
Thruster brakes
Thruster brakes by KTR: Disk brake or brake drum with adjustable braking torque
KTR-STOP TB as a disk brake or drum brake:
Our thruster brakes are available as disk brakes (KTR-STOP TB S) or as drum brakes (KTR-STOP TB T).
On request, the electrohydraulic braking systems can be fitted with other technical options, e.g. automatic wear readjustment unit, manual blower, limit switch (for braking condition and pad wear) or incidence attenuation.
Hubs with brake disks
Hub-disk brake combination for mounting to a separate gear shaft
YAW brake
YAW brake as a holding brake or service brake
KTR-STOP YAW brakes are yaw brakes protecting wind turbines effectively against windsweeping and pulsating loads.
Our yaw brakes develop their strength when aligning and holding a wind turbine; they can also be used as a holding brake on rotary drives (e.g. swivel head on the excavator) or other industrial drives.
In the version with retraction springs they can also be used as a service brake.
Rotor lock / locking pin
Reliable locking pins / locking systems for wind turbines
Electronic control system
IntelliRamp is an electronic control system allowing for accurate braking processes via program control. In conjunction with IntelliRamp our brakes are optimally suitable for use in sophisticated applications:
