Overhead Crane Brakes

Model 8725 Installed on
Hoist Application

A major manufacturer of overhead cranes and hoists specified the Electro Shear® brake on new cranes in order to increase the reliability and performance of their hoisting system.

The Electro Shear® offers several inherent advantages over the dry friction brake unit that was used previously.

Superior Heat Dissipation - Oil Shear design allows for longer brake service life and increases productivity of crane.

Integral Shaft Extension - Allows for simple encoder mounting and access to encoder for replacement or repair.

Simple Installation - Mounts in one piece. No loose pieces, hubs or disc to align.
