YW-E315/E30 Two-step Series Electro-hydraulic drum brakes

Dec 16, 2025

The YW - E315/E30 is a two - step electro - hydraulic drum brake (315 mm drum diameter, matched with ED30/5 thruster). It is specially designed for the traveling mechanism of medium - sized cranes and the working braking of belt conveyors, featuring two - stage braking force adjustment, automatic clearance equalization, and reliable fail - safe operation.

Two - step Working Principle

Step 1 (Deceleration Braking): When braking is initiated, the system applies a smaller, adjustable torque first. This ensures smooth deceleration of the mechanism, preventing impact and reducing wear on mechanical components.

Step 2 (Holding/Wind - resistant Braking): After the mechanism stops, the second - stage torque is added. The delay between the two steps (1-15 s) can be adjusted via the one - way speed control valve. This step provides reliable holding force, especially suitable for outdoor cranes to resist wind loads.

Fail - Safe Operation: When the power is off, the thruster loses pressure, and the high - stiffness return spring forces the brake shoes to clamp the drum, achieving emergency braking to ensure equipment and personnel safety.


Structure & Key Advantages

Structure

It consists of a reinforced brake frame, left and right brake shoes, a two - stage force - adjusting spring group, an interlocking clearance equalization mechanism, an ED30/5 electro - hydraulic thruster, a damping cylinder, and a fixed base. The main hinge points are equipped with self - lubricating bearings, and the torque scale on the spring tube allows for intuitive adjustment.

Key Advantages

Smooth braking: The two - step torque adjustment avoids mechanical impact during deceleration.

Low maintenance: The interlocking clearance equalization mechanism and self - lubricating bearings reduce manual intervention; plug - in liners enable quick replacement.

Reliable wind resistance: The second - stage enhanced torque effectively resists wind loads on outdoor cranes.

Adjustable delay: The 1-15 s delay between the two steps can be flexibly adjusted to adapt to different working conditions.

High action frequency: It can meet the frequent start - stop requirements of high - duty cycle equipment.


Applications

Primary: Deceleration and holding braking for the traveling mechanism of medium - sized outdoor gantry cranes and bridge cranes; working braking for medium - duty belt conveyors in metallurgy, coal, and logistics industries.

Secondary: Braking for the slewing and luffing mechanisms of special cranes that require smooth deceleration and reliable holding.
