Drawworks Brake System In Drilling Rigs
Drawworks Brake System can be divided into:

- Main Brake (Stationary Brake)

- Auxiliary Brake

MAIN BRAKES (STATIONARY BRAKES)

The main brake of a drilling rig is the mechanical band brake or the hydraulic/ mechanical disk brake system. As the name implies, the primary method of stopping the draw-works drum is by the use of the main brake. It is, therefore, essential that the driller is familiar with its operation, adjustment and maintenance.
