ABSTRACT:
An industrial emergency brake is disclosed in which the braking members are disengaged gradually from the brake disc or the like after detonation of an explosive component or electromagnetic de-energization by a stud in threaded engagement with the braking member, a thermally expandable wedging member interposed between a fixed support for the brake and an abutment such as a nut on the stud. An electrical resistor or a high frequency heater heats the wedging member and gradually disengages the braking member from the brake disc.
