How Does a Crane Brake Work?

In a crane’s safe operating system, the brake is truly the “guardian of safety,” bearing the critical responsibilities of motion control, deceleration and braking, and preventing load slipping. Whether it is holding and positioning a suspended load during hoisting, ensuring smooth and stable stopping of the traveling mechanisms, or providing

How to Pick the Perfect Wire Rope Drums for Maximum Performance?

A rope drum—also known as a crane wire rope drum or cable drum crane—is the power center of any lifting system. It handles rope winding, storage, and release. Its stability directly affects the safety, efficiency, and service life of the hoisting mechanism. Whether used in overhead cranes, port container cranes,

Why Are Sheaves So Important in Crane Operations?

Introduction: The True “Power Core” of Cranes In crane operations, people often focus on the motor power, lifting capacity, or wire rope specifications, but tend to overlook a decisive component—the crane pulley block and its internal Crane Sheaves. In fact, it is the reasonable design and stable performance of the

How Many Slings Can Be Attached to a Crane Hook?

What Is A Crane Hook? The crane hook is a device used to grasp and lift loads through equipment such as hoists or cranes. It is usually equipped with a safety latches to prevent the lifting wire rope slings, chains or ropes connecting the load from detaching. The crane hook

Analysis of Crane Wheel Materials and Applications

Material Characteristics and Performance Analysis of Crane Wheels Cranes are key heavy-duty machines used in industrial production, port logistics, and construction. Their operating reliability directly affects productivity and safety. Among all crane components, the wheel is one of the most critical parts of the travel system. It works together with

What Is a Gear Motor?

A geared motor is a power transmission device that integrates an electric motor with a gear reducer. The motor shaft is integrated with the first-stage gear shaft, resulting in a particularly compact structure. Its core function is to utilize the speed reduction and torque multiplication characteristics of the gear train
