overhead or gantry crane

Using non-OEM linings or springs on overhead and gantry cranes introduces unpredictable braking behavior. A lining with a different friction…

For overhead and gantry crane brakes, lining material choice directly affects torque stability, wear rate, noise, and heat resistance. Organic…

High-duty-cycle overhead cranes and gantry cranes need brakes that can handle frequent stops without overheating, while still delivering fail-safe holding.…

Brake fade happens when heat reduces the effective friction coefficient, leading to longer stopping distances or reduced holding capability. To…

Brake squeal is usually friction-induced vibration. On crane brakes, it often occurs when linings are glazed from heat, contaminated, or…

Uneven braking or judder on overhead and gantry cranes is typically caused by inconsistent friction contact or mechanical looseness. Common…

Unstable voltage at the brake coil can create a cascade of issues. If voltage dips, an electromagnetic brake may not…

Selecting the wrong brake power supply box or rectifier can cause serious reliability and safety problems on cranes. If the…

A DC electromagnetic brake that pulls in weakly usually points to an electrical supply or air-gap issue. On overhead crane…

On overhead and gantry cranes, electro-hydraulic thrusters are often used to release drum (block) brakes against spring force. If the…
