| Weight | 5-50 kg | |
| Thickness | 15-50 mm | |
| Outer Diameter | 200-800 mm | |
| Runout Tolerance | ≤0.1 mm | |
| Surface Hardness | 180-240 HB | |
| Maximum Operating Temperature | 350°C |
Ranges are indicative industry figures for RFQ preparation, not a supplier commitment. Confirm every value and standard with the legal manufacturer before ordering.
This component is used in the following industrial products
A mechanical assembly within a wire tensioner that applies controlled braking force to regulate wire tension.
A mechanical or electromechanical device that controls and regulates wire tension by applying braking force or actuating movement within a tensioning system.
A mechanical assembly that applies friction to slow or stop the motion of end trucks in material handling systems.

Manufacturer profiles associated with Brake Drum/Disc.
Manufacturer listings support early research and capability understanding. They are not certification, ranking, or transaction guarantees.
Brake drums provide enclosed friction surfaces suitable for high-torque applications with self-energizing effects, while discs offer better heat dissipation and consistent performance with simpler maintenance access.
Visual inspections should occur weekly for high-use equipment, with dimensional checks every 500 operating hours or per manufacturer specifications, focusing on wear patterns, cracks, and thermal damage.
