Working Principle of Anand Control Electro-Hydraulic Thruster Brakes
The Thruster Brake operates as a critical fail-safe device in heavy industrial applications. Its core function relies on a pre-stressed compression spring that continuously applies braking force to the brake shoes, keeping them engaged with the brake drum. This ensures that the load is held securely when power is absent or cut.
Upon receiving electrical power, the integrated electro-hydraulic thruster activates. This thruster generates hydraulic pressure, which then overcomes the spring force. As the thruster rod extends, it lifts the brake shoes clear of the drum, releasing the brake and allowing the machinery (e.g., EOT crane, hoist) to operate freely. When the power supply to the thruster is interrupted, the hydraulic pressure dissipates, and the robust compression spring instantly re-engages the brake shoes onto the drum. This rapid, automatic application of braking force effectively retards the speed of the machinery and securely holds the load, preventing unintended movement and ensuring operational safety.
