The 96TSB brake is a rugged, AC Thrustor operated drum brake with torque ratings from 247 to over 7000 lb-ft ratings. They are constructed of steel plate, with twin brake shoe arms.

These brakes are designed to be used on bridges, hoists, conveyors, rolling mill drives and other heavy duty applications, in which a reliable, long lasting brake is required. They can be used as a holding, stopping or retarding brake. Standard features of the 96TSB brake are: spring set-thrustor release, torque spring tube, auto pad wear compensator, treated metal parts, and maintenance free bushings. Optional features are limit switches for brake position and for lining wear, and manual release handle.

Braking torque is easily adjustable down to 50% of rated torque.

High inertia loads offer ideal applications for these Thrustor brakes, because of their ability to smoothly apply and release braking pressure.
