When choosing your brake, you must consider the required braking torque and choose a size and model which will dissipate the energy during stopping without overheating. The torque is usually determined by the drive motor torque by a factor of approximately 75% – 100% for crane travel and other similar loads. The torque required for crane hoists and other overhauling loads is a factor of 150% – 200% of the motor torque.
