BCH SME600H2 DC Electromagnetic Series Shoe Brake (600 mm, 960 A)
BCH SME600H2 DC electromagnetic series shoe brake for a 23" / 600 mm brake wheel and motor frames 618, 816: 5423 Nm with 960 A max. FLC on 1/2 hour (crane) duty, 3525 Nm with 730 A on 1 hour (mill) duty. BCH SM series type DC electromagnetic shoe brake conforming to AISE and NEMA standards. Series brakes have their coils in the armature circuit of a DC motor and are rated in amperes for 1/2 hour (crane duty) or 1 hour (mill duty) corresponding to the rating of DC series motors. Electrically released and spring set, so the brake sets in the event of power failure.
