The brake failure of a chain hoist is an extremely dangerous thing, which may cause a series of safety accidents. So, what is the general reason for the brake failure of a chain hoist? Below is a brief analysis for everyone
Firstly, the phenomenon of overweight caused by overloading lifting objects during the use of the hoist results in an increase in the pulling force of the chain hoist, causing friction between the brake pads and the ratchet wheel, leading to brake failure caused by damage to the brake pads.
Secondly, the problem of damage caused by the compression of the brake pads due to the damage and deformation of the cover.
Thirdly, due to prolonged use during maintenance, the brake pads also require maintenance. If maintenance is not done properly and the brake pads are not replaced in a timely manner, it is easy for them to become thinner, leading to brake failure.
The above three reasons have caused the brake failure of the chain hoist, so we need to pay timely attention to the condition of various internal components of the chain hoist, such as the wear and damage of the brake pads, and replace and maintain them in a timely manner.
