Advanced Brake Systems for Modern Drawworks

Efficiency and safety are the foundation of every high-performance drilling operation. At SABA Drilling, we design and supply advanced drawworks brake systems that provide maximum control, heat resistance, and stopping power under extreme load conditions.
Our braking systems are engineered to handle dynamic hoisting cycles while minimizing wear and ensuring smooth, precise stops. From electromagnetic disc brakes to regenerative braking units, every component is manufactured with the highest standards of durability and precision.
With decades of experience in oilfield equipment, we offer tailor-made braking systems suited for both land-based and offshore applications.

Key Features of SABA Drawworks Brake Systems:

🔹High Torque Braking Performance: Optimized for heavy loads and continuous operations.
🔹Multi-Disc Electromagnetic Design: Ensures uniform pressure distribution and heat dissipation.
🔹Regenerative Braking Integration: Converts kinetic energy into usable electrical energy during deceleration.
🔹Redundant Safety Mechanisms: Includes backup braking for emergency stop scenarios.
🔹Intelligent Cooling System: Supports air-cooled, water-cooled, or advanced closed-loop systems for extreme environments.
🔹Modular Architecture: Allows easy maintenance, fast replacement, and system expansion.
🔹API 7K Certified: All brake components meet or exceed international drilling equipment standards.

Our engineering team collaborates directly with rig operators and EPC contractors to develop solutions that enhance system reliability, reduce downtime, and extend the lifecycle of hoisting equipment.

Experience the power of precision. Trust SABA Drilling brake systems to keep your rig running safely and smoothly.
