HWB Hydraulic Wheel Brake
HWB Wheel Brakes are used as a supplement to the motor gantry brakes and are mounted on the idler wheels of a crane. They apply force generated by springs on both sides of crane wheels. Wheel Brakes must be carefully sized to prevent the skidding of the crane caused by too much torque applied on the side of the wheel. HWB is released by Brelx Hydraulic Power Unit HPU.
EWB Electric Wheel Brake
EWB Wheel Brakes are used as a supplement to the motor gantry brakes and are mounted on the idler wheels of a crane. They apply force generated by springs on both sides of crane wheels. Wheel Brakes must be carefully sized to prevent the skidding of the crane caused by too much torque applied on the side of the wheel. EWB is released by Brelx Electric Linear Actuator ELA.
Wheel Brakes That Won’t Fail
Wheel brakes are used as a supplement to the motor gantry brakes and are mounted on the idler wheels of a container crane. By applying a friction force on the wheel flange, they minimize the amount of strain and stress otherwise placed on sill beams and truck assemblies of the crane. A minimum braking torque is applied to hold the crane against the wind burst in conjunction with the existing gantry motor brakes. Wheel brakes must be carefully sized in order to prevent the skidding of the crane caused by too much torque applied on the side of the wheel.
