Explanation of the Classification and Application Scope of Spiral Screw Lift Mechanism Brakes

The lifespan of our screw jack series is primarily determined by the ball screw's lifespan and other components like worm gears and worms; we mainly verify the ball screw's lifespan, while worm gears and worms may wear but generally have a longer lifespan. This lifting jack is widely used in environments requiring precision, for high-end automated equipment.

Today's topic is the brake of the ball screw lifting jack. The brake of the ball screw lifting jack is a device used to reduce the speed or stop the transmission mechanism, an indispensable part of lifting machinery. It serves as a safety line for the lifting jack and a safety device. Therefore, users should frequently check the usage and wear condition of the brake during operation.

The working principle of the ball screw lifting mechanism brake is as follows: one set of friction pairs is connected to the fixed frame, while the other set is connected to the mechanism's rotating shaft. When the friction pairs make contact and are tightened, braking action is produced; when the friction pairs separate, the braking action is released, allowing the mechanism to move.

Ball screw lifting mechanism brakes can generally be divided into normally closed and normally open types based on their working status.
