Types of Motor Brakes for the Gas & Oil Industry
On any oil rig, spring-set motor brakes are located on cranes, hoists, and jackup rigs. While petroleum production process demands involvement from heavy-duty machinery including: tanks, heat exchangers, air coolers, evaporators, and cooling towers, lifting equipment parts on any oil rig must be able to prevent long-term damage from saltwater, sand, hazardous debris, extreme heat and other harsh weather conditions characteristic of the oil and gas industry.
