Crane brakes are the core components to ensure the safe operation of cranes. They are mainly used to control the deceleration, stopping and keeping the lifting, running and slewing mechanisms stationary. It generates braking torque through the friction principle to ensure the precise positioning of the load and prevent accidental movement in power failure or emergency situations. Common types include electromagnetic brakes, hydraulic brakes and disc brakes, which have the characteristics of high reliability, fast response and durability, and are suitable for various types of bridge cranes, gantry cranes and port crane machinery.
Crane brakes are mainly composed of brake pads, brake arms, brake wheels, brake releases, etc., and are usually installed on the high-speed shaft of the crane to decelerate and stop the operation of the crane
Crane brakes are widely used in metallurgy, construction, logistics and shipping and other fields, and are the key guarantee for the safe operation of cranes. Regular maintenance and correct adjustment of the brake clearance (usually 0.5~1mm) can significantly extend the service life and ensure the long-term stable operation of the equipment.
