Mantenga los calces en las condiciones correctas, reemplace las fundas desgastadas a tiempo y mantenga las superficies de fricci\u00f3n libres de contaminaci\u00f3n. Para aplicaciones de alta inercia o en pendientes, el frenado escalonado (en dos pasos) puede reducir el calor m\u00e1ximo y el impacto.
