Crane Drum Brakes are fail-safe, normally closed, thruster/electromagnetic-operated brakes. Designed for small and medium-sized overhead bridge cranes, gantry cranes, and heavy-duty hoists, these brakes ensure precise, reliable operation in heavy-duty industrial environments, including lifting, transportation, metallurgy, mining, ports, docks, and construction machinery.
Feature
Integrated Safety Limit Switch: Provides real-time feedback to the crane's main PLC to prevent motor damage.
Precision Adjustment Handwheel: Allows easy manual alignment and lining wear compensation without specialized tools.
Zero-Maintenance Hinges: Main swing hinge points feature premium self-lubricating bearings-no lubrication required.
Rapid Lining Replacement: Cartridge-style structure with asbestos-free semi-metallic materials for quick bolt-on maintenance.
Operating Conditions
Built to perform in harsh industrial environments, our overhead crane brakes conform to the following operational parameters:
Ambient Temperature: -20°C to +50°C
Relative Humidity: ≤ 90%
Environment: Free from highly flammable, explosive, or severely corrosive gases in standard configuration.
Note: For hazardous applications (chemical plants, oil & gas) or coastal/marine environments, we provide customized explosion-proof (ATEX/IECEx) models or specialized anti-corrosion epoxy coatings.

FAQ
Q: Can this brake be customized for hazardous or outdoor marine environments?
A: Yes. We provide custom ATEX/IECEx certified explosion-proof configurations for chemical/oil gas environments, and specialized anti-corrosion epoxy coatings with stainless steel hardware for coastal or marine crane applications.
Q: How does the integrated limit switch improve crane safety?
A: The heavy-duty interlocking limit switch connects directly to your crane's main PLC. It provides real-time interlocking feedback, ensuring the crane motor cannot power up while the brake is engaged, preventing accidental lining burn and motor overload.
Q: How often do the brake linings and hinges require maintenance?
A: Linings: Maintenance is minimized by our cartridge-style structure, allowing rapid, bolt-on replacement directly on the crane girder.
Hinges: Zero maintenance required. All critical swing hinge points feature premium self-lubricating bearings, eliminating the need for periodic lubrication.
Q: Do you provide technical drawings and CAD models for engineering selection?
A: Yes. We provide free 2D drawings and 3D CAD models upon inquiry to help your engineering team verify shaft centerlines and drum clearance before purchasing.
Q: What is your standard delivery lead time?
A: Standard configurations are in stock for immediate shipment; custom-engineered orders typically ship within 15–25 days.
