This is a critical question. Key conclusions on brake maintenance intervals: Daily inspections once per day, routine maintenance once per month, thorough maintenance once every 6 months. Intervals should be shortened for heavy loads or harsh environments.
Maintenance Intervals by Scenario
Daily Inspection (Before Each Daily Operation)
Frequency: Mandatory before each use, part of pre-operation safety checks.
Core tasks: Verify normal brake clearance, ensure brake shoes contact the brake wheel, check for abnormal noises or oil leaks, and confirm responsive braking.
Routine Maintenance (Monthly)
Frequency: Once per month, applicable for standard operating conditions (daily operation under 8 hours, light to moderate loads).
Core Tasks: Clean oil and dust from brake wheel surfaces, measure friction pad thickness (replace if below 3mm), inspect brake spring tension and electromagnet/hydraulic push rod condition.
Thorough Maintenance (Semi-Annual/Annual)
Frequency: Every 6 months (for heavy-duty, high-temperature, or dusty environments); extendable to once per year under normal conditions.
Core Tasks: Disassemble the brake mechanism; replace aged seals and worn pins; lubricate transmission hinges; test electromagnet coil insulation and hydraulic push rod pressure; calibrate brake clearance
