QP Series Pneumatic Drill Disc Brake

I. Working Principle

Work status

Control conditions

Movement process

Release brake (run)

Compressed air supply: 0.5~0.7 MPa

Air pressure pushes the piston to overcome the spring tension, the brake caliper opens, the friction pads separate from the brake disc, and the rotating shaft turns freely.

Brake (braking)

Gas supply stopped / Loss of pressure

Internal springs rebound instantly, clamping the friction plate against the brake disc. The rotating shaft is locked by friction and braking is completed within 0.25 seconds.

Emergency Response

Power failure, gas cutoff, emergency stop signal

The cylinder rapidly exhausts, the spring rebounds and clamps within ≤0.25 seconds, and automatic full braking prevents the equipment from overspeeding.

 

II. Core Structural Components

The QP brake consists of two main parts: the brake frame and the pneumatic cylinder:

Pneumatic air bladder (cylinder) - Power unit; Types A and B have different air bladder volumes, which determine the operating speed.

Brake spring assembly - Source of braking force; the number of springs can be increased or decreased to achieve four-stage adjustment of braking torque.

Lever brake caliper frame - Caliper clamping structure with uniform force distribution and high rigidity.

Snap-in friction pads - Asbestos-free eco-friendly material; spring-loaded snap-in design for quick replacement.

Gap adjustment mechanism - Screw adjustment of the gap between the friction pad and the brake disc, with automatic compensation after wear.

Mounting base bracket - Supports horizontal/vertical installation; symmetrical arrangement of multiple units can multiply the braking torque.

IV. Core Product Advantages

Intrinsic Safety: Automatic braking upon air cutoff, preventing load slippage and runaway for heavy-duty equipment

Adjustable Torque: Add or remove springs / adjust preload to achieve 4 levels of torque adjustment per unit

Minimal Maintenance: Friction pads feature quick-release clips for fast removal; clearance is fine-tuned via screw rod

Excellent Heat Dissipation: Disc structure offers far superior heat dissipation compared to drum type, resisting thermal fade during continuous braking

Universal Air Supply: Directly connects to existing workshop air compressor stations, requiring no additional power source

Flexible Installation: Can be mounted at any circumferential angle; symmetrical arrangement of multiple units multiplies the torque capacity
