Product Description

The actuating tube is contained within a housing formed by a rim and two side plates. The torque bars, which are held in position by the side plates, pass through cavities in the backing plates of the friction shoes. Pressurizing the actuating tube forces the friction shoes to engage around a cylindrical drum. Leaf springs in the torque bar cavities of the backing plates retract the friction shoes when the actuating tube pressure is released. Friction shoe backing plates are of ventilated construction with large air passages.
