Brake Selection
The brake size must be chosen to give required braking torque and to dissipate the energy during stopping without over heating the disc. Brake torque is often related to drive motor torque by an arbitrary service factor typically 75% -100% full load torque for crane travel and similar inertial loads which tend to be self stopping or 150% -200% for crane hoists and other overhauling loads. If a precise stop time or distance is specified, then the brake torque must be calculated.

Motor FL torque is given by:
   - [(kW x 9550) / rpm]Nm or [(HP x 5250) / rpm]Lbft

Calculate stopping torque based on the diameter of your disc, use the following table and equations:

Imperial Torque
Dynamic Torque = AF x 0.43 x (D - F) / 24
Static Torque = AF x 0.40 x (D - F) / 24

Metric Torque
Dynamic Torque = AF x 0.43 x (D - F) / 2000
Static Torque = AF x 0.40 x (D - F) / 2000

AF = Applied Force
D = Disc Diameter
F = Swept Face
