AC Brake What are the precautions?
1. Please use the AC brake only when it is completely free of moisture, oil, etc. If the friction surface gets contaminated with moisture, oil, or other substances, the friction torque will decrease significantly, and the braking sensitivity will also decrease. To prevent this, please install a cover during use.
2. When using in dusty environments, please enclose the brake in a casing. For electromagnetic brakes under 60 kilometers, the upright type can be used, and higher models can also be used.
3. For the long shaft size of the AC brake installation, please use standard specifications. Use the specified key for the shaft key during installation.
4. Considering factors such as thermal expansion, please select an installation shaft thrust of 0.2 mm or less.
5. When installing the AC brake, please adjust the attraction gap on the machine to within plus or minus 20% of the specified value.
6. Please keep the carrier lightweight. Do not subject the brake bearings to excessive pressure.
7. For assembly screws, please use spring washers, threadlockers, etc., to prevent loosening.

8. While using the machine-side frame to secure the leads, also use end plates, etc., to ensure a secure connection.
What is the development prospect of AC brakes?
The downstream industries for AC brake products will primarily be equipment manufacturing industries such as hoisting machinery, metallurgical equipment, mining equipment, construction machinery, wind and nuclear power plant equipment, ships, and offshore heavy industry. Through the revitalization and development of these industries, AC brakes will usher in another period of sustained and healthy development opportunities. China's industrial brake industry is expected to maintain an annual growth rate of 10% to 20% in the coming years.
With the revitalization and development of the equipment manufacturing industry, domestic AC Brake output has also significantly increased, and the sales revenue of the brake industry has simultaneously risen. Due to a late start, weak technological foundation, and limited capital investment, China's AC brake products are primarily low-end. However, several leading enterprises in the industry adhere to independent innovation, increase R&D investment, and are developing towards high-tech products. The market share of AC brake products is gradually increasing, and the profit margins of brake companies are showing an upward trend. Conversely, there are many enterprises producing low-end products, leading to fierce competition and a downward trend in prices. Coupled with fluctuations in the prices of main raw materials like steel, the growth rate of profits is slowing down.
