Mill Duty Brakes are used primarily on process lines and overhead DC cranes in the steel industry and on a variety of other industrial machines. They are AISE rated and suitable for use for all crane classes for hoisting and travel motions, and as parking brakes. Spring set and electrically released are available in standard AISE 8” through 30” sizes and your application can be easily switched to your favorite manufacturer. See our complete inventory of mill duty brakes here.
I have a 13” Square-D type 5010-T brake that is all worn out and I want to replace it using one of many others I have in my storeroom. I don’t really want expensive modifications. Are there any other brakes that are a direct fit? I have a 13” General Electric type IC-9528 brake and a 13″ ECM WB22. Will either of them bolt up?

Alex, your Square D type 5010-T and GE IC9528 brakes were built to AISE standards which means all the mounting dimensions are the same. That means the GE brake will bolt up without a problem and they use the same width wheel. Your WB22 brake is non aise so to use it would require remounting and a new wheel since the wheels are different widths. One caution is to research the coils specs of both brakes to make sure they are compatible. I can help with that if needed.

I find your information very interesting and helpful. It is nice to see the postings. Keep continuing to post information on your used electrical equipment.
