One of the wearing components in overhead cranes & hoists is a brake liner. These liners could wear out for numerous reasons, inching operation & frequent usage being the most common. A brake is safe and mandatory for a crane; these crane brake liners also need constant monitoring to check for wear & tear.
Cranedge offers you genuine spares like the EOT crane brake liner or even a complete disc brake set for any brand of EOT cranes, installed in your factory. Our crane brake liner comes with Cranedge promise of being authentic and are fit by our technicians & experts.
FAQ
1. What is an EOT crane disc brake?
An EOT crane disc brake is a crucial safety component that helps control the crane’s movement and ensures smooth, safe stopping. It works by creating friction between a rotating disc and a stationary brake liner. These brakes are designed for electric overhead traveling (EOT) cranes, which operate under heavy loads and require reliable braking systems for hoisting, lowering, and trolley movements. Properly maintained disc brakes ensure precise load handling and extended equipment life.
2. Why is the brake liner important in an EOT crane disc brake?
The brake liner is the heart of the braking system. It provides the friction surface that helps the crane stop efficiently without causing excessive wear on the disc. A high-quality brake liner ensures consistent braking performance, minimal vibration, and protection against overheating. Over time, brake liners wear out due to repeated use, and replacing them promptly maintains operational safety and reduces downtime in crane operations.
3. When should I replace the brake liner on an EOT crane disc brake?
You should replace the brake liner if you notice reduced braking efficiency, increased stopping distance, or visible signs of damage such as cracks, glazing, or uneven wear. During preventive maintenance, it’s also wise to measure liner thickness and replace it when it approaches the manufacturer’s minimum recommended level. Timely replacement avoids damage to the brake disc and ensures uninterrupted, safe crane performance.
4. What materials are used in crane brake liners?
Cranedge supplies brake liners made from durable, high-friction materials such as resin-bonded composites, sintered metals, and non-asbestos friction compounds. These materials are engineered to withstand high temperatures and heavy-duty industrial conditions while ensuring stable frictional performance. The composition is selected based on the type of EOT crane, its operating environment, and the required braking torque — ensuring both reliability and longevity.
5. Do you provide brake liners for different EOT crane models?
Yes, Cranedge offers compatible brake liners suitable for a wide range of EOT cranes, including options for different sizes and braking systems used across industries.
6. Do you offer support for installation or maintenance of EOT crane disc brakes?
Cranedge provides technical guidance and service support for a range of crane components. Customers can contact the team for assistance based on their specific maintenance needs.
