One of the most preferred pneumatic brakes on the Slovak market is the MS brake series from the English manufacturer TWIFLEX.

The MS series of brakes is suitable for use with a 12.7 mm roll. The minimum disc diameter is 250 mm.
Pneumatic control uses dry, filtered and lubricated compressed air.

Pneumatic brakes require a manual or pneumatic or electric control valve. Typically, one or two braking struts are mounted on one wheel and mounted horizontally. In addition to the MS series, we can offer all types of pneumatic brakes and products from TWIFLEXU product overview on the page:

A Superior Solution From A Single Source

The Twiflex system comprises a Turning gear, Locking device, and shaft Brake (TLB) together with a power unit (e.g. Hydraulic Powerpack) and a control panel for local operation of the system close to the equipment. TLB is available as a continuous turning option as shown or as an indexing system using a simple hydraulic ‘push-pull’ arrangement with the brakes and brake disc to inch the propeller shaft for maintenance and accurate alignment. For a more cost effective solution, a simple manual option is also available for this purpose.
