Choose YWZ10 when: You need enhanced safety features, standards compliance, or are specifying for water conservancy, sluice gate, or other critical infrastructure applications where regulatory compliance is paramount.
Choose YWZ9 when: You need maximum torque capacity and automatic wear compensation for heavy-duty industrial applications like steel mills, large port cranes, or mining equipment.
Primary Applications
Water Conservancy & Sluice Gates
The YWZ10 is the preferred brake for sluice gates, dam equipment, and flood control systems where reliable braking is essential for infrastructure safety. The enhanced safety features and standards compliance make it ideal for these critical applications where failure is not an option.
Metallurgy & Steel Mills
In steel mills and foundries, the YWZ10 provides reliable braking for overhead cranes, ladle handling, and process equipment. The fail-safe design ensures safety during the high-risk operations typical of metal production.
Port & Container Handling
Container cranes and port machinery rely on YWZ10 brakes for safe, controlled stopping. The robust construction withstands the marine environment while the enhanced safety features meet port authority requirements.
General Industrial Lifting
The YWZ10 serves overhead cranes, hoists, and winches in manufacturing, warehousing, and construction applications where safety standards compliance is required.
Operating Principle
The YWZ10 operates on the proven spring-applied, electro-hydraulic release principle:
- Power On: Ed thruster receives power, builds hydraulic pressure, releases brake
- Power Off: Hydraulic pressure dissipates, springs immediately apply brake
- Fail-Safe: Any interruption—power failure, cable damage, emergency stop—triggers automatic braking
