FAQ – Brakes and Brake Solutions for Industry

What types of industrial brakes are there and what are they used for?

Various types of brakes are used in industrial applications, depending on the required braking force, the weight of the load, and the environmental conditions. The most common include hand brakes (often as parking brakes), drum brakes, hub brakes, and disc brakes. The choice depends on the specific area of application, e.g., whether it involves purely parking, braking during travel, or holding under load.

How do I choose the right brake solution for my application?

Selecting the appropriate brake solution is crucial for safety and efficiency. Consider factors such as the maximum load capacity, speed, the type of vehicle/equipment to be braked, environmental conditions (moisture, dust, chemicals), and the desired braking function (service brake, parking brake, safety brake).

Are your brakes compatible with different wheels/castors?

Brakes are often designed for specific wheel or castor types and sizes. Compatibility depends on the wheel diameter, rim construction, bearing type, and available mounting points on the equipment. We offer brake solutions that are matched to our wheels and castors, but we are also happy to advise you on compatibility with existing components.

How do environmental conditions (moisture, dirt) affect braking performance?

Environmental conditions can affect braking performance. Open brake systems like disc brakes can be impaired by heavy dirt or moisture. Closed systems like drum or hub brakes are often more resistant here. For corrosive environments, there are special materials like stainless steel. Choosing the right system for the respective environment is therefore important.

Do industrial brakes require maintenance?

Yes, like most mechanical systems, industrial brakes also require regular maintenance to ensure their full functionality and safety. This includes checking for wear (brake pads, drums, discs), inspecting moving parts, and lubricating them if necessary. Maintenance intervals depend on the brake type, intensity of use, and environmental conditions.
