Abstract
A shaft holding system for cryogenic pumps or expanders comprising of a set of hydraulic brakes surrounding the shaft of turbomachinery. Fluid or gas is introduced into the bellows chamber of a brake assembly. The bellows chamber expands due to the increase in pressure, thus exerting a force on the piston of the brake assembly. The piston in turn exerts a force on a brake rod, which pushes a brake pad attached to the end of the brake rod against the shaft. A feed line supplies fluid or gas to the hydraulics of the brake assembly. Two or more brakes can be used to secure the shaft of the turbomachine. A turbomachine including more than one shaft can use a set of brakes for each shaft of the turbomachine.
