Braking device for the rotating shaft of a driving source like an electric motor

摘要

The device has a brake disc (5) displaced by a case (8) of an actuation unit for pressing the brake against a part of a support casing (2) and brake a rotating shaft. The case of the actuation unit is fixed to the support casing at a radial position of the brake disc by fixation screws (9). The screws are provided outside the brake disc such that the case and the casing form a fixed brake caliper. The screws traverse holes of the case which is situated at the outer periphery of the case and extend parallel to the rotating shaft.
