Abstract
An elastic-tube-operated brake band is used by arranging it between an inner member and an outer member. The brake band includes a ring-shaped strap with a friction material fixedly secured on a circumferential surface thereof. The brake band is also with an elastic tube which is arranged on a side of an opposite circumferential surface of the ring-shaped strap. By a pressure produced by charging pressure fluid into the tube, the friction material is brought into engagement with a counterpart via the ring-shaped strap to transmit a torque between the inner member and the outer member. The ring-shaped strap is fixed at opposite ends thereof with play in a circumferential direction, respectively.
Claims5
An elastic-tube-operated brake band for being arranged between an inner member and an outer member, said brake band comprising a ring-shaped strap with a friction material fixedly secured on a circumferential surface thereof and an elastic tube arranged on a side of an opposite circumferential surface of said ring-shaped strap, whereby by a pressure produced by charging pressure fluid into said tube, said friction material is brought into engagement with a counterpart via said ring-shaped strap to transmit a torque between said inner member and said outer member,
- wherein said ring-shaped strap is fixed at both of its opposite ends to one of said inner member and said outer member with play in a circumferential direction.
