The history of brakes is long. Over the decades, brake systems have been upgraded and changed many times to meet the new and demanding requirements of ever-evolving vehicles and road systems.  Industrial brake parts and systems can be slightly more complicated than your regular old car system, but the necessary components remain the same across […]

Failing to inspect and maintain the braking system on industrial machinery properly can unnecessarily cost you thousands of dollars. Catastrophic failure could even result in injury or death to your employees. Replacing major parts can get very expensive, in many cases, a brake shoe relining provides the same results at a fraction of the cost. […]

Motors, hoists, cranes, vehicles, and even wind turbines all have industrial braking systems as central components. It’s key to understand the different types of brake calipers and brakes in your equipment. This way, you can easily identify problems and ensure quality maintenance. Here is a short guide to the different types of industrial braking systems. […]

Today, most industrial machines and modern-day vehicles operate with a disc brake system. This revolutionary braking system combines the use of a circular disk made of either cast iron, steel, or carbon ceramic with a piston and caliper system. When compared to drum brakes, disc brakes have a longer wear-and-tear value and provide a much […]

Brake rotors are among the most important parts of industrial machinery. Having the right rotors can mean the difference between life and death. The same can apply to anything mechanical that may require a brake rotor or a braking system. Unfortunately, there are some common myths circulating about the use of brakes, and chances are […]
