Brakes

Thruster brake is a device used to retard the speed of moving machinery and to stop it accurately to the desired position . The braking force is applied to the brake shoes by a pre-stresses comprising spring. The shoes press on the rotating brake drum retarding its speed and finally stop it. The releasing of brake drum and compressing of the spring is done by thruster.

For infallible operation of machinery, modern methods are necessary, any machine which requires its motion to be controlled, whether it is a lifting Crane, Hoist or Winch today employs an Electro Magnetic Brake, enabling the operator not only to control the motion but also to hold the load at any desired point without danger of falling, merely by release of the starting handle. Electromagnetic Brake is adequate equipment for safer operations of machinery. Electromagnetic Brakes are used when a load must be stopped rapidly to prevent it from rotating.
