MW710-8000 is a heavy-duty, normally‑closed, AC‑powered electromagnetic drum brake designed for high‑torque industrial braking applications. It belongs to the MW(Z) energy‑saving electromagnetic drum brake series.
Basic Identification
Model: MW710‑8000
Type: Electromagnetic drum brake (MW series)
Brake drum diameter: 710 mm
Rated braking torque: 8000 Nm
Matching electromagnet: DT‑710
Total weight: Approx. 403–419 kg
Standards: Complies with JB/T 7685‑2006 (technical requirements) and JB/ZQ 4388‑86 (mounting dimensions & torque)
Working Principle
It is a fail‑safe, normally‑closed brake:
Braking (power off): Built‑in heavy‑duty compression springs apply strong clamping force to the brake shoes, firmly gripping the drum to stop or hold the load.
Release (power on): The DT‑710 AC electromagnet is energized, generating magnetic force to overcome spring tension. It retracts the brake shoes via a lever mechanism, freeing the drum for rotation.
Automatic wear compensation: Equipped with an equal back‑distance device to maintain consistent braking performance as linings wear.
