Z-spring plate for continuous shaft

Spring-applied brakes

A Z-spring plate for a continuous shaft in an electromagnetic spring-applied brake is a specially shaped sheet metal part that is used for axial force transmission between the brake elements and the shaft. Its Z-shaped geometry enables elastic pre-tensioning and compensates for manufacturing tolerances, ensuring that the braking force is reliably transmitted to the shaft. It is a central connecting element in the mechanical structure of the brake and contributes to its reliable function.
