Double brake
Synonym(e) / Plural(e)
- Double brakes
In electromagnetic spring-applied brakes, a double brake refers to two independently acting brakes that offer maximum safety through redundancy - ideal for applications with the highest safety requirements. A double rotor brake, on the other hand, uses several braking surfaces within one unit to achieve a higher braking torque in a compact design, but with less redundancy.
