Industrial brakes are braking systems utilized in machinery and equipment to manage motion and ensure safety within industrial settings. Engineered for high performance and durability, these brakes are designed to handle heavy loads and frequent use, making them essential in manufacturing, transportation, and material handling applications.

The primary types of industrial brakes include mechanically applied brakes, hydraulically applied brakes, pneumatically applied brakes, and electrically applied brakes. Mechanically applied brakes use mechanical force, such as a lever or pedal, to produce braking action. They are typically employed in situations where simple, direct control is needed, such as in bicycles, manual vehicles, and some industrial machinery. These brakes are used for holding, dynamic and emergency, and tension applications. The end-user sectors for industrial brakes encompass marine and shipping, mining, manufacturing, construction, entertainment, and more.
