Australian Power Units
The range of brake Australian Power Units (APU) that CFP manufacture includes a 0.75, 0.37 and 2Kw version, these APU’s are available in various configurations and can specifically designed to customer’s requirement. Some of the standard versions include:
- Quick lift – Where the requirement is to have the caliper lifted quickly
- Proportional braking – Where the braking time needs to remain constant, regardless of drive loads
- Redundancy – Redundancy valves for all valving in the APU, designed for enhanced safety requirements
The development of the CSB series of brake calipers has been about providing a technical solution that meets increased issues of safety, yet at the same time provides for higher levels of reliability and brake function for today’s increased demands relating to controlled braking applications.
Standard Features
- Modular system – flexible design options for easy upgrade, size selection of pump, motor, reservoir and operation controls to suit your braking needs.
- Comprehensive manuals – with every unit in hard and electronic copy making setup and troubleshooting easy with all components simply marked in relation to the power unit.
- Pilot Operated Pressure Relief and Pressure Compensated Flow Control Valves – easy to set-up without expensive equipment or specialist personnel.
- Fitted with Sun Cartridge Valves – quality and reliability that comes with the bet cartridge valve in the world.
- Australian Made – providing with local support and readily available parts at economical prices.

Custom Safe Brakes
The CSB series are put through a rigorous testing process by our engineers on our test rig facilities in our product development centre to ensure high performance and quality. Our real point of difference is that our customers have access to our engineers and specialist technicians every step of the way through the project and we provide service and advise long after our field service team install and commission.
Our field service team are on the ground providing asset management and data to our customers and our engineers to complete the circle of customer support. Custom Fluidpower have a range of industrial braking solutions with successful trials installed at renowned West Australian mine sites.
The CSB brake caliper will become the preferred option for many end users because of its simplicity of design, availability of replacement calipers, and localised spare parts and service capabilities across Australia.
