Product Description

A spindle brake is a mechanical or pneumatic system used in ring spinning machines to stop the rotation of the spindle quickly and safely, especially during machine stoppage, yarn breakage, or doffing operations.

Function of Spindle Brake

Purpose

Description

1. Quick Stop

Halts spindle immediately when machine stops or doffing starts

2. Safety Mechanism

Prevents over-spinning, vibration, and yarn damage

3. Doffing Assistance

Allows operators or auto-doffer to safely remove the full bobbin

4. Yarn Quality Protection

Prevents ballooning or entanglement of yarn during sudden machine stop

5. Energy Efficiency

Stops idle rotation, reducing power loss

Where It Is Used (Applications)

Spindle Brakes are used in:

Machine Type

Application Area

Ring Frame

On each individual spindle shaft

Doubling Frame

For controlling doubled yarn windings

Compact Spinning

As part of auto-control mechanism

Auto Doffer Systems

Needed for safe doffing


Working Principle

Mechanical Brake (Spring Type):

  • A spring-loaded pad or shoe presses against the spindle shaft.
  • When machine stops spring pulls the brake friction stops spindle.

Pneumatic Brake (Air Type):

  • Uses compressed air to engage or release brake pad.
  • During auto doffing air pressure applies brake spindle stops instantly.

Electromagnetic Brake (Rare):

  • Uses magnet coil to generate force for braking.
  • Used in high-end automatic machines or high-speed setups.
