Vijayalaxmi Enterprises is one of the leading Thruster Brake Manufacturers offering a range of high quality products to several industries. The thruster brake typically consists of a hydraulic or electric actuator that applies a disc brake to the propeller or thruster shaft. When the brake is engaged, the disc is clamped against the shaft, causing it to stop rotating.
Thruster brakes are designed to provide high braking torque and are capable of stopping a propeller or thruster quickly and safely. They are also designed to withstand harsh marine environments and are often made from materials that are resistant to corrosion and erosion.
The company uses premium materials in the production of their thruster brakes, including high-grade steel and durable alloys. These materials ensure that the brakes are robust and long-lasting., Modern technology plays a crucial role in the manufacturing process at Vijayalaxmi Enterprises. Advanced machinery and computer-aided design (CAD) systems are employed to create precise and reliable components.
Standard Thruster Brakes
Their standard range of thruster brakes includes models that cater to a variety of industrial applications. These brakes are known for their reliability and ease of installation.
Custom Thruster Brakes
For clients with specific requirements, Vijayalaxmi Enterprises offers custom thruster brakes. These are designed based on detailed specifications provided by the client, ensuring optimal performance.
Vijayalaxmi Enterprises’ thruster brakes are known for their durability and reliability. Constructed with high-quality materials and advanced technology, they offer long-lasting performance even in demanding environments., Thruster brakes are mechanical devices that use a thruster motor to apply braking force. In an EOT crane, they are used to hold or stop the crane's load or the movement of the trolley and bridge.
Thruster brakes are critical for :
Control : Allow precise control over the crane's movement.
Safety : Ensure the crane stops or holds in place to prevent accidents and damage.
Stability : Maintain load stability during operation.
Electromagnetic Thruster Brakes
These brakes use an electromagnetic force to engage and disengage the brake. They offer reliable performance and are commonly used in various industrial applications.
Spring-Applied Thruster Brakes
Spring-applied brakes use a spring mechanism to apply the brake force. They are known for their fail-safe operation, meaning they automatically engage the brake if the power fails.
Hydraulic Thruster Brake
Hydraulic brakes use hydraulic fluid to generate braking force. They are suitable for applications requiring high braking power and smooth operation.
