PULLEY OR DISK BRAKING DEVICE
Braking device, particularly for slowing a pulley or a disk, comprising a body (10) fixed to a casing (20) and a braking yoke (30) able to move between a brake-released position and a braking position, said mobile braking yoke (30) comprising at least one friction pad (40) designed to interact, in the braking position, with an element (50) that is to be slowed, such as a disk or a pulley, that has at least one cylindrical surface (51), said element (50) that is to be slowed being mounted such that it can rotate on said casing (20), said brake pad (40), in the braking position, being pressed firmly against said cylindrical surface (51) of said element (50) that is to be slowed, said at least one friction pad (40) being fixed, such that it cannot pivot, to said braking yoke (30), and said body (10) being fixed to said casing (20) by two attachments (100, 200), a first attachment (100) effected about a first axis (A), and a second attachment (200) effected about a second axis (B), said second axis (B) being inclined with respect to and, in particular, perpendicular to, said first axis (A).
