Maintenance and Common Issues of Brake Bands
1. Key Points for Daily Maintenance
Regular Inspection of Wear
Check the thickness of the friction lining (replace if it is less than 2mm) or measure the tension value of the brake band to assess wear.
Cleaning and Lubrication
Remove dust and oil from the brake drum to prevent reduced friction. Regularly lubricate the hinge points of the tensioning device.
Tension Adjustment
Use professional tools to calibrate the tension of the brake band, ensuring uniform braking force.
2. Common Faults, Causes, and Solutions
| Fault Phenomenon | Possible Causes | Solutions |
|---|---|---|
| Insufficient Braking Force | Lining wear, insufficient tension, oil contamination of friction surface | Replace the lining, adjust tension, clean the surface |
| Abnormal Noise | Hardened lining, loose installation, out-of-round brake drum | Replace the lining, tighten components, grind the brake drum |
| Overheating of Brake Band | Frequent braking, poor heat dissipation | Reduce continuous braking, check the heat dissipation system |
| Brake Failure | Lining detachment, broken tensioning device | Urgently replace components, perform a comprehensive overhaul of the braking system |
