Mine winder brake control system

Hydraulic power unit used in electro-hydraulic brake control systems of mine winders, operating, among others, in hard coal mines. The unit is designed to control hydraulic brakes of mining winders operating in shaft hoisting systems, equipped with brake actuators (working pressure up to 16 MPa).

It ensures the execution of three types of braking: maneuvering, safety, and holding. The design of the hydraulic system is based on hydraulic, electrical, and electronic components, guaranteeing high brake reliability and thus safe operation in the shaft hoisting system.

The hydraulic power unit utilizes, among others, a proportionally controlled sandwich-plate pressure reducing valve along with an electronic control card, sandwich-plate valves, and the UZAE10 accumulator safety block.
