Stromag spring applied brakes specified for busy bascule bridge at Port of Antwerp

Stromag spring applied brakes specified for busy bascule bridge at Port of Antwerp

As the second largest seaport in Europe, the Port of Antwerp handles over 200 million tonnes of cargo each year. It’s vital that ships and barges are able to navigate through the port without obstruction, while rail and road links must also remain clear for passenger cars and commercial vehicles. It’s no wonder that there is a large network of bascule bridges (drawbridges) throughout the port, all of which need to operate reliably day and night. As part of the ongoing refurbishment of the bridge drive systems, Stromag’s 3CA2 electromagnetic disc brakes have been selected to perform stopping and holding functions.
