Why is the braking distance of the differential brake too long?

After sensing abnormal changes in speed, the differential will lock in a timely manner. Generally speaking, it will lock within 0.2 meters to prevent the falling person or heavy object from continuing to fall. However, it is possible to encounter the phenomenon of how long the braking distance of the differential is, which should alert us. If the braking distance is too long, the automatic control effect of the differential will be lost, and safety will be reduced.

What are the reasons for the excessive braking distance of the differential? One reason is that there are oil stains inside the locking device, which reduces the friction of the differential gear ratchet and pawl braking system and lowers the braking capacity; The second issue is overloading during the use of the differential, which the braking system of the differential cannot withstand and has insufficient braking capacity, resulting in a long braking distance.

The excessive braking distance of the differential is a major hidden danger, which directly threatens the personal safety of workers. Once discovered, it should be dealt with in a timely manner. In addition, it is important to pay attention to the proper use of the differential and avoid any violations.
