RPS Rail Press Brakes apply spring force on the top of the rail while allowing a large rail vertical fluctuation RPS rail brakes use the weight of the crane in the braking process and provide the braking force along the rail.
They are spring set and hydraulically released. Once released, the brake hangs above the rail at a pre-designed clearance.
Actual braking capacity depends on the applied force and applicable coefficient of friction.
RPS brakes are parking brakes designed to apply when a crane comes into a full stop position.
