We use disc emergency brakes as independent safety devices for emergency stopping of cranes and lifting equipment in emergency situations.
The brake acts on the brake disc on the drum housing and is spring-loaded and hydraulically braked, so that the brakes automatically engage in the event of a power failure.
Drum emergency brakes are used as an independent safety system for emergency stopping of lifting and travelling crane drives.
The braking torque is transmitted by friction between the brake lining and the drum on the shaft, so that motion can be effectively stopped or blocked even in the event of a main drive failure or power failure. The brakes are usually spring-loaded and released by a hydraulic system, which guarantees automatic application in an emergency.
The design is based on the maximum possible load, runtime and operating conditions of the plant. A properly sized emergency drum brake significantly increases the safety of operation and protects the operator, the structure and the surrounding technology.
