ZWZB-500/400 series electromagnetic drum brakes

Dec 20, 2025

ZWZB - 500/400 is a DC - powered, normally - closed electromagnetic drum brake, a replacement for ZWZ3/ZWZ3A series, designed for DC - driven industrial machinery braking. Below are its core details:

Core Technical Parameters

Parameter Value
Model ZWZB - 500/400
Applicable drum diameter 500 mm
Rated braking torque 400 N·m
Power supply DC 110V/220V (control circuit AC 380V, 50Hz)
Matched electromagnet DC electromagnet (rated suction force varies by manufacturer, typically matched to 400 N·m torque demand)
Brake shoe retraction distance 0.6-0.8 mm
Operating frequency ≤720 cycles/h (S3 - 25%, 40%, 60% duty cycle)
Total weight About 85-95 kg (subject to manufacturer's configuration)
Compliance standards GB 6334-86 (dimensions/torque), JB/T7685-2006 (technical requirements)
Key installation dimension (typical) Overall length approx. 850 mm, installation hole center distance approx. 450 mm, mounting height approx. 900 mm

Operating Conditions

Ambient temperature: -20°C to +40°C (some manufacturers extend to -25°C to +50°C).

Relative humidity: ≤90% (non - condensing).

Altitude: ≤2000 m.

Environment: No flammable, explosive, corrosive gases or conductive dust; outdoor/corrosive environments require anti - corrosion modification.


Structural & Performance Features

Fail - safe normally - closed design: Spring - applied braking when power - off, electromagnetic release when powered on, ensuring load safety during power outages.

DC - driven efficiency: Dedicated for DC - powered equipment; stable release, low heat generation, and high transmission efficiency at hinge points with self - lubricating bearings.

Eco - friendly & durable: Non - asbestos brake linings; reliable performance, low noise, and adjustable gap for easy maintenance.

Replacement compatibility: Consistent with ZWZ3 series installation dimensions for seamless upgrades.


Typical Applications

Suitable for deceleration and parking braking of DC - driven cranes, winches, metallurgical machinery, and port loading/unloading equipment, meeting medium - load, moderate - frequency braking needs.
