In the braking system of a chain crane, the friction plate is a critical component, and its performance and condition are crucial for the normal operation and safety of the equipment. Therefore, regular inspection of friction plates is an important measure to ensure the safe and reliable operation of chain cranes. Here are some reasons why it is necessary to regularly inspect the friction plates of chain cranes:

Wear and aging:

Friction plates may wear out due to contact with gears or other components during long-term use. This type of wear not only reduces the working performance of the friction plate, but may also affect its braking effect.

Over time, friction plates may also age due to environmental factors (such as temperature, humidity, etc.) and usage conditions (such as workload, frequency, etc.). Aging friction plates may lose their original elasticity and strength, thereby increasing the risk of equipment failure.

Security considerations:

The state of the friction plate directly affects the braking performance of the chain crane. If the friction plate is severely worn or aged, it may lead to brake failure, thereby increasing the risk of accidents during equipment operation.

Regular inspection of friction plates can promptly identify potential safety hazards and take corresponding maintenance or replacement measures to ensure the safe operation of the equipment.

Preventive maintenance:

Preventive maintenance is an important means to ensure the long-term stable operation of equipment. By regularly inspecting the friction plates, potential problems can be identified and resolved in a timely manner, avoiding equipment shutdown or damage due to sudden malfunctions.

Preventive maintenance can also extend the service life of equipment, reduce maintenance costs and downtime, and improve the overall operational efficiency of equipment.

Compliant with standards and regulations:

In many industries and fields, there are standards and regulations for equipment maintenance and inspection. These standards and regulations typically require regular inspection and testing of key components of chain cranes, such as friction plates.

Adhering to these standards and regulations not only ensures the safety and reliability of equipment, but also avoids legal risks and fines associated with violating regulations.
