Fail Safe Brakes

Fail safe brakes are used for specific applications that require the brakes to stop motion in the event of a loss of power or perhaps a fault with the variable frequency drive or PLC in a drive system.

Fail safe brakes are commonly used for holding or e-stop applications such as:

• Overland or Downhill Conveyor Systems
• Mining, Construction, or Oil Derrick Winches
• Container Crane Main Hoist, Boom Hoist & Trolley Travel Service and Emergency Brakes
• Steel Mill Rolling & Coiling Systems, as well as Overhead Crane Hoist, Bridge and Trolley Travel Brakes
• Draw Bridge and Bascule Bridge Service Brakes
• Radar Antenna Azimuth and Elevation Positioning Applications
• Elevator and Escalator Applications

Hindon Corp. has a variety of fail safe brake types available that are designed to prevent a potentially catastrophinc “runaway” situation in the event of a power failure or major fault in a control system.
