SOBO BCU - brake control unit
BCU is a unique brake controller combining today's technology to provide a range of safety and durability benefits to heavy industry. Deceleration and stop of heavy loads are becoming vital for any modern technology.
Controlled braking is essential for significant reduction of torque peaks
The SOBO BCU offers a wide range of benefits and features - all taking the highest safety aspects into consideration.

• Controlled braking independent of load and load position
• Braking on time or distance
• Adjustable brake ramp/curves
• Compensating for variable friction factors
• Controlled start-up
• Real time monitoring of brake sequence
• Simple interface between BCU and main plc

Failsafe solution:
The last line of safety for heavy machinery is failsafe disc brakes. The solution developed by Svendborg Brakes is designed to ensure that the disc brakes will always work, even in the unlikely event of brake control unit or hydraulic unit failure.
