Functionality:
- Electrical Control: The electro-hydraulic system starts with an electric motor that powers a hydraulic pump. The motor receives signals from the crane's control system to initiate braking actions.
- Hydraulic Power: The hydraulic pump pressurizes hydraulic fluid, which is then directed to the hydraulic cylinder connected to the block brake. This hydraulic action provides the required force to engage or disengage the brake.
- Brake Engagement: When the crane operator activates the braking system, the electric signal triggers the hydraulic pump. The pressurized hydraulic fluid moves into the cylinder, applying force to the brake mechanism, thereby engaging the brake to stop or slow down the lifting block.
- Precision and Control: The integration of electrical and hydraulic systems allows for precise control over the braking process. The amount of force applied can be finely adjusted, ensuring smooth and safe operation even when handling heavy loads.
