Storm Brakes / Rail Clamps

 Patented: Storm brake / rail clamp with integrated lifting and lowering function.

• With integrated lifting function
• No contact to the rail during crane travel
• Lateral positioning during lowering function (patented system)
• Particularly suitable for fast moving crane systems
• Particularly suitable for transverse travels / cross-runs
• Restraining / holding forces up to 840 kN per clamp
• Self acting in case of power failure

 Storm brake / rail clamp to protect crane systems or railbound machines against unwanted movements e.g. storm.

• Closing by spring force with knee lever system
• Opening by hydraulic cylinder
• Restraining forces / holding forces up to 840 kN per clamp
• Guidance permanently on the rail via guide rollers
• Limit switch monitoring for clamp position
• Vertical compensation of +/- 20 mm
• Lateral compensation for rail misalignment +/- 25 mm
• Self-closing in the event of a power failure

 Hydraulically operated storm brake / rail clamp to protect crane systems or railbound machines against unwanted movements e.g. storm.

• Hydraulic closing and opening
• Restraining / holding forces up to 256 kN per clamp
• Limit switches monitoring for clamp position
• Using a hydraulic power unit with pressure storage / Optional: Closing via pressure reservoir with power blackout / self-acting at power failure
• Lateral compensation for rail misalignments ±15 mm

 Manually operated storm brake / rail clamp to protect crane systems or railbound machines against unwanted movements e.g. storm.

• Manual closing / opening
• Restraining forces of up to 100 kN per clamp
• Lifting device for clamp lever with clamping jaws
• Limit switch monitoring for clamp position
• Lateral compensation for rail misalignment via sliding housing ± 25 mm
• Guidance of the sliding housing via guide rollers (RF) or with hand lever (MP) for lateral positioning

 Electrically operated storm brake / rail clamp to protect crane systems or railbound machines against unwanted movements e.g. storm.

• Electrical closing and opening (Handwheel for emergency operation)
• Actuated by an electric motor
• Lifting device for clamp shoes
• Restraining / holding forces up to 100 kN per clamp
• Limit switches monitoring for clamp position
• Lateral compensation for rail misalignment ± 25 mm
