How can I prevent brake overheating and brake fade on overhead and gantry cranes?
Learn moreBrake fade happens when heat reduces the effective friction coefficient, leading to longer stopping distances or…
Why is my overhead crane brake squealing, and how can I reduce noise?
Learn moreBrake squeal is usually friction-induced vibration. On crane brakes, it often occurs when linings are glazed…
What causes uneven braking, vibration, or “judder” on crane brakes?
Learn moreUneven braking or judder on overhead and gantry cranes is typically caused by inconsistent friction contact…
What faults can unstable brake coil voltage cause on overhead/gantry cranes?
Learn moreUnstable voltage at the brake coil can create a cascade of issues. If voltage dips, an…
What happens if the brake power supply/rectifier (e.g., DKZ) is selected incorrectly?
Learn moreSelecting the wrong brake power supply box or rectifier can cause serious reliability and safety problems…
