Magnetek / Mondel Motor Mounted Drum Brakes

The Magnetek / Mondel Motor Mounted Drum Brakes are a revolutionary solution for crane builders, offering a pre-assembled brake unit that is already mounted on the opposite drive end (ODE) of the motor. This innovative design eliminates the need for separate brake mounting labor, saving both time and effort. Traditionally, crane builders have had to purchase brake shoes, wheels, and motors separately, then integrate them into their designs by constructing individual mounting bases. With the Magnetek / Mondel Motor Mounted Drum Brakes, this cumbersome process is streamlined, as the motor and brake come as a single, cohesive package.

By opting for a factory-mounted brake package, crane design is significantly simplified, and shop time is reduced. The motor, equipped with a C-Face and tapered shaft on the ODE, allows for easy installation. The brake support can be securely bolted to the motor's machined flange, ensuring precise alignment and optimal performance. Typically, these brakes are available in wheel diameter sizes ranging from 4 to 13 inches, catering to a variety of crane specifications.

The advantages of choosing Magnetek / Mondel Motor Mounted Drum Brakes are numerous. This solution eliminates the need for a brake pedestal and resolves alignment issues, as the brake is already perfectly positioned. Purchased as a complete, pre-assembled package, these brakes install effortlessly as a complete assembly, significantly reducing time and labor costs. For crane builders seeking efficiency and reliability, the Magnetek / Mondel Motor Mounted Drum Brakes are an ideal choice.
