<p>The present invention relates inter alia to a hydraulic braking system. The braking system is particularly well suited for deployment in wind turbine constructions and is well suited for other constructions as well. The braking system comprises a hydraulic brake calliper (1) with a hydraulic brake piston (5) and a disc (7); the brake piston is moveable in a direction normal to surface of the brake disc to force a brake pad (11) against the surface of the disc. The brake calliper further comprises two elements (2a, 2b) protruding from a base element (3) and straddling a segment of the brake disc with a gap size there between being larger than the thickness of the disc, fastening means (6) provided in the base element for fastening the calliper to a construction, and a ledge (4). The ledge is provided in the gap between the two protruding elements at the base element, has a radial and circumferential extension relatively to the orientation of the brake disc and proceeds in between the brake piston and the fastening means to define a minimum gap size in between the two elements.</p> |
