Brake wheel coupling in a crane connects a braking mechanism to a rotating wheel, allowing the crane to stop or slow down safely. These couplings are typically used in overhead cranes and other lifting equipment to control the motion of heavy loads. The brake wheel coupling facilitates the connection between the drive shaft and the wheel shaft, enabling the braking system to engage and stop the wheel.
1. Fail-Safe Braking
In situations where the main transmission fails or malfunctions, the brake wheel coupling can provide a secondary, fail-safe braking mechanism.
2. Lightweight and Compact Design
The compact structure allows for a lighter overall crane design, reducing weight and improving efficiency.
3. Energy Savings
The low-voltage control and maintenance systems of some brake wheel couplings contribute to energy savings.
4. Flexible Coupling Options
Coupled brake wheels are useful in space-constrained environments, eliminating the need for double-shaft extensions.
5. Easy Installation
Pre-assembled couplings and available options like finished bores simplify installation and save labor.
