YWZ9-500/E80A Electro-hydraulic drum brakes

Dec 16, 2025

The YWZ9-500/E80A is a heavy - duty electro - hydraulic drum brake (500 mm drum diameter, paired with ED80/6 thruster), ideal for working and parking braking of large cranes, hoists, and heavy - duty conveyors. It has a rated braking torque of 1250 N·m (adjustable 800-1600 N·m) and features automatic clearance equalization and fail - safe performance.

Structure & Working Principle

Structure: Reinforced brake frame + left/right brake shoes + high - stiffness return spring + interlocking clearance equalization mechanism + ED80/6 electro - hydraulic thruster + fixed base. Self - lubricating bearings at main hinges ensure high transmission efficiency and no need for lubrication. A torque scale on the spring tube enables intuitive adjustment.

Fail - Safe Operation:

Power - on (release): Thruster motor starts, hydraulic pressure pushes the pushrod upward. The lever mechanism retracts the brake shoes, compresses the return spring, and the brake releases.

Power - off (braking): Thruster loses power, the pushrod retracts under spring force and gravity. The return spring rebounds, driving the shoes to clamp the drum for stable braking.

Clearance Equalization: The interlocking mechanism keeps the clearance on both sides of the shoes equal, preventing uneven wear and brake drag.


Key Advantages

Reliable safety: Normally closed design ensures immediate braking on power failure, preventing equipment sliding.

Low - maintenance: Self - lubricating hinges and interlocking clearance equalization reduce manual intervention; plug - in liners allow quick replacement without disassembling the frame.

Stable performance: Non - asbestos liners with a friction coefficient of μ≈0.35-0.4 and good high - temperature resistance.

Intuitive adjustment: The torque scale on the spring tube makes braking torque adjustment easy and direct.

High action frequency: Suitable for frequent start - stop working conditions in heavy - duty applications.


Applications

Primary: Working and parking braking for large bridge cranes, gantry cranes, large electric hoists, and heavy - duty belt conveyors in factories, ports, and mining areas.

Secondary: Braking for main and auxiliary mechanisms (slewing, luffing, etc.) of lifting and material handling equipment in metallurgy, coal, and chemical industries.


Installation & Maintenance

Installation:

Install on a rigid base to avoid vibration. Ensure drum concentricity (runout ≤0.15 mm) and thruster pushrod alignment (no lateral force).

Connect the thruster to a 380 V three - phase power supply and fill it with ISO VG 32/46 hydraulic oil to the specified level.

Verify the operation of the clearance equalization mechanism and test the flexibility of braking and release before commissioning.

Maintenance:| Cycle | Maintenance Items || ---- | ---- || Daily | Check thruster oil level, pipeline leaks, and abnormal noise; clean oil stains and debris on the drum surface. || 3 months | Inspect liner wear and thruster seal integrity; tighten loose fasteners (lever and base bolts). || 6 months | Replace thruster hydraulic oil; check return spring elasticity (replace if fatigued). || 12 months | Overhaul the thruster (clean the pump and piston); replace liners if thickness <5 mm; resurface the drum if worn or deeply scratched. || 2 years | Replace thruster seals and filter; inspect the brake frame for deformation; calibrate braking torque.
