If a crane uses a VFD, why is a mechanical brake still required?
February 6, 2026
A VFD can provide controlled deceleration and even regenerative braking, but it cannot replace the safety function of a mechanical…
Why do some cranes require dual brakes on the hoisting mechanism?
February 6, 2026
Dual brakes (redundant braking) are used when the risk level is high and a single brake is not considered sufficient…
How do I select a crane brake using motor power, speed, and gear ratio?
February 6, 2026
Motor power and speed are useful starting points, but you must translate them into torque at the brake location. First…
Is the safety factor for travel brakes the same as for hoist brakes?
February 6, 2026
Usually not. Hoist brakes face gravity-driven risk and must prevent load drop, so their safety requirements are typically stricter. Travel…
What safety factor should be used when selecting a crane hoist brake?
February 6, 2026
Safety factor is the margin between the brake’s rated torque and the maximum torque your hoist may demand in real…
How do I calculate required hoist brake torque for an overhead/gantry crane?
February 6, 2026
Hoist brake torque must be sufficient to safely hold the maximum load and handle the worst-case stopping scenario. Start by…
What does “spring-applied, power-released” mean in crane braking?
February 5, 2026
“Spring-applied, power-released” describes a brake design where mechanical springs apply braking force by default, and external power is used only…
Where are electromagnetic motor brakes typically used on overhead cranes?
February 5, 2026
Electromagnetic motor brakes are commonly used as compact hoist motor brakes or auxiliary brakes on smaller overhead cranes, wire rope…
What’s the difference between dynamic braking and static holding?
February 5, 2026
Dynamic braking refers to slowing or stopping a rotating system while it is moving. It requires the brake to absorb…
Are electro-hydraulic disc brakes better for high-duty hoisting?
February 5, 2026
In many high-duty hoisting applications, electro-hydraulic disc brakes can provide performance advantages, especially related to heat management and torque consistency.…
