Spring-Applied Brake BFK457 – reliable, compact, ready for use

Looking for a fail-safe spring-applied brake that reliably delivers the required basic functions and can be put into operation quickly and easily? 

The BFK457 is the perfect fit. Designed as both a service brake and holding brake with emergency stop function, it ensures maximum safety with minimal installation effort.

Thanks to integrated mounting screws and a preset air gap, the BFK457 allows for fast, cost-effective installation without any adjustment work. Its compact one-piece design saves valuable installation space, making it an ideal solution for applications where efficiency and simplicity are key.

The BFK457 is available as a standard version with very low variance, while still enabling targeted adaptations for project-specific solutions.
With CE marking and CSA certification, the BFK457 is approved for worldwide use in all relevant markets.

The BFK457 is ideally suited for automated guided vehicles (AGVs), industrial trucks, wind turbines and a wide range of industrial automation applications. Its compact design, maintenance-free operation as a holding brake and high functional reliability make it a dependable choice wherever safe holding and emergency stopping functions are required in limited installation spaces.
