Wedge brake mod
Wedge brake mod
(OP)
hello there,
I am designing a mod for a port quay crane emergency brake, I wondered if anyone had any ideas on what to make a metal replaceable wear pad out of. It must withstand 1100t compressive load. I am after a few ideas to get me started many thank.

RE: Wedge brake mod
Friction brake systems are designed based on their required heat rejection rate, and not on their "compressive load capacity". If you wish to design an emergency brake system for your crane, you need to know the amount and rate of energy the braking system must be capable of absorbing and safely dissipating.
