About Hydraulic Thruster Brake
Hydraulic Thruster Brake
Electro Hydraulic Thruster Brake is used to retard the speed of moving machinery and to stop it accurately to the desired position. The breaking force is applied to the brake shoes by a pr-stressed compression spring.
The brake shoes press on the rotating brake drum retarding its speed, and finally stopping it. Other release devices like pneumatic / hydraulic cylinder or manual release arrangements can be offered on request.

FAQs of Hydraulic Thruster Brake:
Q: How does periodic lubrication enhance the performance of the hydraulic thruster brake?
A: Periodic lubrication reduces friction and wear in the brakes moving parts, ensuring smooth operation and extending the lifespan of the components. Regular lubrication also helps maintain reliable braking torque and minimizes the risk of unexpected failure.
Q: What is the process for mounting the hydraulic thruster brake?
A: This brake is foot-mounted, making it easy to install on compatible machinery bases. Proper alignment and secure bolting are necessary to ensure stable operation. Consult the user manual for specific instructions on mounting and electrical connections to a 415V AC supply.
Q: When should maintenance be scheduled for optimal performance?
A: Maintenance, including lubrication and inspection, should be performed periodically as recommended by the manufacturer. Regular checks help identify potential issues early, maintain efficient braking, and prevent downtime in industrial applications.
Q: Where is the hydraulic thruster brake commonly used?
A: This brake is ideally suited for overhead cranes, conveyors, hoists, and other material handling systems in industrial settings. Its robust construction and high efficiency make it a preferred choice for heavy-duty applications.
Q: What are the benefits of using a hydraulic thruster brake with ISI and IEC standards?
A: Adherence to ISI and IEC standards guarantees the brakes quality, safety, and compatibility with international requirements. This ensures reliable performance, making it suitable for export and various industrial environments worldwide.
Q: How does the IP 54 protection class contribute to brake longevity?
A: IP 54 rating means the brake is protected against dust ingress and water splashes, allowing stable operation in challenging industrial conditions. This improves the overall durability and reduces maintenance frequency.
