Abstract
A compact braking assembly in an axle for an industrial vehicle comprising, within an internal body (10) which extends in an arm (18), supported in a rotatable manner (in 16, 17) a casing (14) of a differential (15) provided with a first set of disks (20, 21), with a second set of disks (46, 47) also positioned between the casing (14) and said arm (18) of the axle, with a piston (41) acting on the first set of disks (20, 21), operated by a fluid fed from a respective duct (43), which axially moves a ring (44), distributor of an operating force of the piston (41), in which the piston (41) successively positions the first set of disks (20, 21) in a pack acting as a differential lock, subsequently positioning the second set of disks (46, 47) in a pack acting as a service brake thanks to the presence of a pre-established preloaded elastic element (24).
