About Hydraulic Brakes

Hydraulic brakes are assemblies consisting of elements for the slowing or stopping of shafts in equipment drives. Hydraulic power is required to activate the brake. Brake types available are friction type or toothed. The most important parameters to consider when searching for hydraulic brakes are the operating specifications. These include torque rating, power, speed, and maximum pressure. The maximum torque rating for the brake should equal or exceed application requirement. The maximum power rating for the brake is given in HP. Maximum rotary speed rating of the brake is specified in rotations per minute (rpm). Maximum pressure for a hydraulic brake is specified in psi.
