Centralised brake

Total brake, locks both wheel and bracket position.

The brake is normally held in the released position by a spring and is actuated by means of an 11 mm hexagonal bar: the bar must be rotated to the locked-brake position and kept in place by the locking mechanism. As soon as the locking mechanism releases the bar, the brake returns to the released position. Normally, two parallel brackets are operated by the same bar through a single pedal.

The hardened carbon steel brake spring, coated with thin zinc sheets, ensures very high corrosion resistance. It is equipped with an adjustment system to compensate for normal wheel wear during use.

Total brake, locks both wheel and bracket position.

The brake is actuated by means of an 11 mm hexagonal bar: at the end of the bar rotation towards the locked-brake position, it remains stable in the locked position; the brake is released by rotating the bar in the opposite direction until it returns to the released position.

Active brake, normally engaged during rest conditions.

Voluntary vertical pressure on the M10 threaded pin located at the centre of the top plate frees the wheel on its axle, allowing movement of the structure to which it is fitted. Releasing the M10 threaded pin restores locking of the wheel rotation only. Braking efficiency can be modified by increasing or decreasing the pressure on the wire spring assembled on the M10 pin.
