Abstract
A braking system for a motor housing is provided. In one example, braking system comprises a double disk brake configuration arranged in a motor housing. A working position of the double disk brake is configured to automatically adjust based on a condition of a friction pad of a friction disk.
Claims18
A winch system, comprising:
- a brake system comprising a disk brake in face-sharing contact with a friction disk, an input coupler, a cam follower, and an output coupler;
- wherein a working position along a ramp surface between two stop features and a surface of a cam follower protrusion is adjusted based on pads of the friction disk, wherein the input coupler, the cam follower, and the output coupler rotate based on an engagement between the disk brake and the friction disk, wherein the brake system is arranged in a motor housing;
- and
- a spring arranged in a space between the input coupler, the cam follower, and the output coupler, wherein an expansion of the spring adjusts the working position of the brake system.

A braking system, comprising
- a shaft;
- a first friction disk and a second friction disk comprising a plurality of friction pads in face-sharing contact with a first brake disk and a second brake disk;
- an input coupler comprising a body, wherein a plurality of input protrusions is arranged on the body, wherein the input coupler is engaged with the shaft;
- a cam follower comprising a plurality of inner cam follower protrusions configured to engage with the plurality of input protrusions, where the cam follower further comprises a plurality of outer cam follower protrusions;
- an output coupler comprising a plurality of torque lugs configured to engage with the plurality of input protrusions, where the output coupler further comprises a plurality of stop features configured to engage with the plurality of outer cam follower protrusions, wherein a working position between the plurality of stop features and the plurality of outer cam follower protrusions is adjusted along an angled surface of the plurality of stop features as the plurality of friction pads degrade;
- and
- a motor housing in which the braking system is integrally arranged.
4 more elements
A braking system for a winch or a hoist, comprising:
- a motor housing comprising a double disk brake braking system integrated therein, wherein the double disk brake braking system is engaged with a motor output shaft of a motor of the motor housing;
- an input coupler, a cam follower, and an output coupler arranged between a first disk brake and a second disk brake of the double disk brake braking system;
- and
- a spring arranged in a space between the input coupler, the cam follower, and the output coupler, wherein an expansion of the spring adjusts a working position of the double disk brake braking system;
- wherein the working position between angled surfaces of the output coupler and the cam follower is automatically adjusted via a spring arranged in a space between the input coupler, the cam follower, and the output coupler, the automatic adjustment in response to a wear of a plurality of pads of a first friction disk and a second friction disk, and wherein the input coupler, the cam follower, and the output coupler rotate based on an engagement between the disk brake and the friction disk.
