Brake rectifier for Linden Comansa 21LC750/36t

The brake rectifier RECT.1016 is an electrical component used within the electromagnetic braking systems of heavy machinery. Its primary function involves converting alternating current from the power supply into direct current to feed and control the electromagnetic brakes. By providing a stable direct current output, the component allows the crane brake to engage or release according to the operator's commands, which is necessary for the secure positioning and movement of suspended loads.

This unit is compatible with the Linden Comansa 21LC750/36t tower crane, where it is utilized in the control circuits for lifting or slewing mechanisms. The component is manufactured by Stromagg. It consists of internal diodes and capacitors housed within an enclosure designed to manage heat dissipation during the energy conversion process.

In industrial crane systems, brake rectifiers are essential for the operation of electromagnetic brakes. These devices ensure that the brake coil receives the correct voltage to maintain the brake in a released state during operation or to engage it when the machine is at rest. Proper function of this electrical path is required for the intended stopping and holding performance of the crane mechanisms.
