-
Fail-safe braking system with automatic application during power loss.
-
Smooth, noise-free, and shockless operation.
-
Rugged and durable design suitable for harsh industrial environments.
-
Low maintenance and long service life.
-
Available in multiple thrust capacities for various applications.
Durability and Performance in Extreme ConditionsEngineered to function perfectly in continuous duty cycles (S1) and temperatures between -10C to +60C, this Crane Brake Thruster excels in challenging settings. Its IP54/IP65 protection classes shield internal components from dust and water, ensuring long-lasting operation even in harsh, industrial atmospheres. The use of powder-coated or painted finishes further enhances resistance to corrosion.
Customizable and Efficient DesignThe thruster accommodates a range of voltage requirements (default 415V AC, customizable) and is constructed in several sizes to suit varying applications. Its thrust capacity is versatile, from 18 Kg up to 200 Kg, with a maximum output stroke of 100 mm. Rapid operation is assured thanks to a response time of less than one second, supporting smooth functioning in EOT cranes, hoists, and other lifting machinery.
Reliable and Safe OperationConforming to IS and IEC international standards, this electro-hydraulic brake thruster uses high-quality hydraulic oil (ISO VG 32 or equivalent) and features insulation class F for user safety. With low noise levels and minimal maintenance requirements, it is favored for its high efficiency and robust build, making it a dependable component for critical industrial tasks.
