Brake roller

Brake rollers ensure controlled movement of pallets. They are placed in such a way that every pallet is constantly in contact with a brake roller. Brake rollers work on the centrifugal principle: the rotation of the load-bearing roller is transferred at a ratio of 1:12 by a two-tiered planetary gear. Revolving brake shoes are mounted at the exit side of the gear unit and are pressed on to the braking surface by the centrifugal force caused by the rotation.
The brake power is regulated by the downhill-slope force and is thus dependent on the weight of the pallet. Heavy pallets try to accelerate the brake rollers more than lighter ones thereby increasing the pressure on the brake-roller and consequently the brake power. Pallets with differing weights therefore move at the same speed, namely 0.25m/s.
- Brake rollers are in direct contact with the pallet thus providing very high efficiency
- Friction-free contact with the pallets
- The top of the brake roller is 1mm higher than the top of the adjacent weight-bearing rollers
- The configuration of the brake rollers allows them to be easily installed and dismounted so that they can also be used in the retrieval units.
