To activate the clamping, the membrane accumulator underneath the spring steel plate is filled with compressed air. The pre-tensioned spring steel plate is pushed upwards and stretched at the same time. The cross bar serves as pivot point and operates against a taper on the lower part of the clamping body. The brake pads are thereby pressed against the rails and the clamping is active.

To release the clamping, the membrane accumulator must be depressurized. The spring steel plate snaps back and pushes the clamp body underneath the cross bar. Now the previously elastically deformed clamp body can snap back into its initial position. This removes the tapered body off the cross bar and widens the gap underneath it. The brake pads lift off the rails.

* The holding forces as shown in the capacity chart were determined on dry rails for roller systems (STAR, INA). Different holding forces may occur for other rail systems. Depending on the grease used, calculate with 60% of the indicated holding forces on greased rails. Special pads with full holding forces to clamping (not braking) on greased rails are available.
