Do cranes have brakes?

Oct 21, 2021

The crane has brakes.

The installation and operation of the crane brake device are different. The brakes are divided into three types: normally closed, normally open, and integrated. The normally closed brake is closed during the period when the mechanism is not working. If you want the mechanism to work, you only need to separate the friction pairs of the brake by releasing the brake, and the mechanism can operate.

The braking device is an important part to ensure the safe and normal operation of the crane. In the lifting operation, the brake device is used to prevent the suspended object or the boom from falling, and to prevent the turntable or crane from sliding under the action of wind force or ramp component force. Or reduce the speed of the running mechanism, and finally stop the movement; you can also clamp the heavy object to run according to the work needs. Under special circumstances, the speed of movement can be adjusted by controlling the balance of power and gravity.
