ABSTRACT:
Rotation of a supply reel for cable or the like is controlled by a brake apparatus. The supply reel is supported on pedestals by an arbor which includes a rotor having a disc coupled to the supply reel by a drive arm so that as the reel turns the disc rotates. A piston and cylinder assembly carried by a brake frame urges brake pads into frictional engagement with opposite sides of the disc. Spring-loaded latches on the reel support pedestals releasably support the brake frame and transfer braking torque to the reel support pedestals. The brake frame includes plates that are urged apart by a spring so that the brake pads only engage opposite sides of the disc when fluid pressure from a second piston and cylinder assembly is developed by an actuating lever.
