What are the reasons for the electric hoist brake not holding?
2 Answers
It may be due to wear on the wire rope guide of the electric hoist. Here is some relevant information: 1. Overview: New energy vehicles refer to automobiles that use unconventional vehicle fuels as power sources (or use conventional vehicle fuels with new types of on-board power devices), integrating advanced technologies in vehicle power control and driving, resulting in advanced technical principles, new technologies, and novel structures. 2. Others: New energy vehicles include pure electric vehicles, extended-range electric vehicles, hybrid electric vehicles, fuel cell vehicles, hydrogen engine vehicles, etc.
I often deal with various mechanical issues, such as the brake of an electric hoist failing to hold. Common causes include excessive wear of the brake pads, as frequent use can thin the friction material, reducing braking effectiveness. There may also be leaks or air ingress in the hydraulic system, affecting pressure transmission and causing the brake to fail. Mechanical components like the brake disc can become contaminated with oil or dust, leading to slippage. Overloading can also exceed the brake's capacity due to excessive pulling force. Additionally, improper adjustments, such as excessive clearance or chain slack, are common. The safety risks are high and can easily lead to accidents, so I recommend first checking the thickness of the brake pads—if it's below the safety line, replace them. Also, inspect the sealing of the oil lines, regularly clean the brake area to avoid contamination, and keep the load within the specified range. For routine maintenance, a simple monthly thorough cleaning and testing can prevent many issues.
