Industrial Brake System Components (Discs, Hubs, & Bracketry)
The Hilliard Corporation manufactures a complete lineup of fail-safe and active industrial braking equipment hardware.
Industrial Brake System Components (Discs, Hubs, & Bracketry)
Hilliard offers a comprehensive range of standard brake discs, manufactured from either ductile iron castings or carbon steel. Stainless steel and other special materials are also available. Hilliard standard disc hubs are supplied with parallel or tapered bores and keyways to accommodate customer requirements. Hilliard supplies standard and custom brake caliper mounting kits and brackets for use with all Hilliard brake models.
Industrial Brake System Components Key Features:
Broad Disc Size Range
Standard brake discs are available from 6 to 54 inches in diameter, with additional sizes supplied to order for application-specific braking requirements.
Multiple Material Options
Brake discs are manufactured from ductile iron or carbon steel, with stainless steel and other special materials available to accommodate specific operating conditions.
Flexible Shaft and Hub Integration
Standard hubs are available with parallel or tapered bores and keyways, while special hubs can incorporate keyless locking devices to match shaft and installation requirements.
HOW IT WORKS
Why Specify Hilliard Industrial Brake Components?
Hilliard industrial brake components, including brake discs, hubs, mounting components, and related hardware, provide the mechanical interface required to integrate the brake into the driven equipment. Available configurations support different shaft, mounting, and braking requirements, helping create a complete brake system matched to the equipment and application.
Why Do the Right Brake Components Matter?
Establishes the Braking Interface
Brake discs, hubs, and mounting components create the physical connection between the brake and rotating equipment. Proper component selection ensures braking force can be applied through the disc and transferred through the hub to the equipment shaft.
Matches Disc Geometry to Braking Requirements
Disc diameter, thickness, material, and mounting configuration influence how a brake integrates with the equipment and achieves the required braking performance. Hilliard offers standard brake discs from 6 to 54 inches in diameter, with additional sizes available for application-specific requirements.
Supports Proper Hub and Shaft Integration
Hub configuration determines how the brake disc interfaces with the equipment shaft. Parallel and tapered bores with keyways, along with keyless locking options, provide flexibility for different shaft designs and installation requirements.
Simplifies Complete Brake System Integration
Selecting compatible discs, hubs, mounting components, and brake assemblies helps ensure the individual components function as a complete system. Hilliard’s range of standard and application-specific components allows the braking package to be configured around available space, shaft geometry, brake selection, and equipment requirements.
