Shaft Lever Wedge Wheel Brake

Working Principle：
     The windproof iron wedge brake operates through an electric hydraulic actuator, lever, and connecting rod mechanism. When powered on, the electric hydraulic actuator pushes the iron wedge to lift, allowing the equipment to work normally; When the power is cut off, the iron wedge is lowered under the action of spring force to fix the wheels and prevent the equipment from moving under external forces such as strong winds.

The main functions of the windproof iron wedge brake manufactured by CTECH Machinery SDN BHD are:
     Wind resistance and anti slip: By embedding wedges into the gap between the track and the wheels, the principle of "wedge-shaped self-locking" is used to generate a huge static friction force, resisting strong wind horizontal thrust.
     Physical redundancy: compensates for the risk of ordinary brakes or rail clamps failing under extreme wind conditions (such as 35m/s or more), providing the last physical line of defense.
     Adapt to harsh environments: Good sealing, resistant to dust, high temperatures, and uneven tracks, suitable for the renovation of old docks and complex industrial environments. ‌‌
