A Brief Introduction To Brakes

A brake is a device that has the function of slowing down, stopping, or maintaining a stopped state of moving parts (or moving machinery). It is a mechanical component that stops or decelerates moving parts in machinery. Commonly known as brakes or brakes. The brake mainly consists of a brake frame, brake components, and control devices. Some brakes are also equipped with automatic adjustment devices for the clearance of brake components. In order to reduce braking torque and structural dimensions, brakes are usually installed on the high-speed shaft of equipment, but for large equipment with high safety requirements (such as mine hoists, elevators, etc.), they should be installed on the low-speed shaft near the working part of the equipment.
