WATERTIGHT BRAKE

摘要

The invention relates to a brake (1) with a base plate (2) with which a brake actuating device (4) and at least one brake disk (7, 10) is linked in a substantially rotationally fixed manner. Said brake further comprises a friction-lined disk which is linked with a rotary shaft (8) in a substantially rotationally fixed manner while said rotary shaft can be rotated relative to the base plate (2). The brake also comprises a housing. The aim of the invention is to simplify maintenance of the brake (1) vis-à-vis conventional brakes and to improve its capacity of resistance to wear. To this end, the housing is configured as a bell-shaped hood (14) which rests on the base plate (2) in a sealing manner and provides a brake interior (19) that is at least watertightly sealed from the exterior of the brake (1). Said brake interior accommodates the brake actuating device (4), the friction-lined disk (9) and the brake disk (7, 10).
