PEGASO brake system

PEGASO is the new pneumatic brake ideal for the textile sector and for
those with mobile unwinder carriages. It is a solution created to precisely and
efficiently control the tension of the fabric as it is unwound, but taking into
account the costs necessary to fi t each carriage with a single brake.
PEGASO is quickly and easily applied to the carriage during the unwinding
phase and after use it can be removed and applied to another carriage
ready for unwinding, or placed on the ground.
PEGASO has 2 pneumatic calipers, model CX, specially adapted for a
structure which supports a cast iron disk, 12.5 mm thick and with a 300
mm diameter. Two large handles make it easy to
handle and apply. It also has an eyebolt so that it can be supported
using a hoist if necessary. PEGASO is applied on a splined shaft
using a standard bushing, but we can adapt the hub of the cast iron disk to
your requirements. The bushing has a safety device
to stop the brake from coming off accidentally.

A pressure gauge and a manual pressure regulator allow easy control
during unwinding. The operator can effortlessly reduce and set the correct
pressure for torque control. The maximum torque reached at 6
bar is 380Nm, with 1.1 kW of power dissipation.
Also available in a version with a disk guard.
