Brake Band ZP 01.241 for ZM-60U/90U

Brake Band ZP 01.241 (for ZM-60U/90U)

The ZP 01.241 brake band is the main working friction element of the modernized ZP 01.140 band brake assembly, which comes standard on the new generation of ZM-60U and ZM-90U series grain loaders. Its primary engineering task is to tightly wrap around the cylindrical drum of the trimmer's pivoting frame for its rigid locking, completely preventing the trimmer structure from turning spontaneously under the influence of operational vibrations and grain flow recoil.

Structurally, the part is a flexible metal strip with a fixing eyelet on one end and a special guide rod on the other. The distinctive engineering feature of this modernized band is its elongated straight shank, onto which the ZP 01.612 working spring is now mounted directly - thanks to this solution, a direct-action system is formed where force is transmitted strictly linearly. This made it finally possible to eliminate capricious intermediate rods and washers from the design, which in classic equipment models often became the root cause of misalignments and jamming of the locking mechanism on the threshing floor.

Technical Specifications of Brake Band ZP 01.241

• Catalog number: ZP 01.241
• Application: ZM-60U, ZM-90U
• Installation assembly: Trimmer band brake ZP 01.140
• Part type: Direct-action flexible friction band (with an elongated shank)
• Quantity per unit: 1 pc.

The geometry of the modernized ZP 01.241 band is designed to operate in a direct-action system - a fixing eyelet is formed on one end for a movable connection with the flat drive lever, and an elongated straight threaded rod is located on the other. This design solution allows the working spring to be mounted directly onto the band's shank, creating a reliable linear base for tension. Due to this, force is transmitted strictly along the axis, eliminating angular deviations or misalignments when clamping or unbraking the pivoting frame drum.

The transition to a band with an integrated long shank made it possible to abandon the capricious intermediate parts typical of classic grain loaders. In older mechanisms, force was transmitted to the band via a separate ZP 01.160 guide rod and a specific ZP 01.608 ball-joint washer. Operational practice has shown that the loss of this washer on the threshing floor or the bending of the rod itself led to severe metal scraping against the frame and subsequent jamming of the entire assembly. The new ZP 01.241 band operates directly, making the trimmer locking mechanism structurally simpler and fail-safe in operation.

The reinforced base of the band is made of high-quality flexible metal capable of withstanding high tensile and frictional loads. Thanks to the new linear kinematics, the operator physically feels the exact moment of unbraking, protecting the mechanism from a typical personnel error - turning the massive trimmer with a semi-clamped brake. Such engineering protection against the human factor prevents the scraping and premature thinning of the metal strip, guaranteeing rigid retention of the set grain discharge angle without parasitic backlash over many operating seasons.

Related Parts of Brake Band ZP 01.241

In the direct-action band brake kinematic scheme, the ZP 01.241 band operates in a single assembly with other power and control elements. During its maintenance or replacement, the following adjacent components must be checked and, if necessary, installed:

• Brake handle ZP 01.150
• Brake lever ZP 01.000.2.2
• Working spring ZP 01.612
• Fixing elements (M12 adjusting nuts, flat and spring washers, retaining cotter pins)

A similar operating principle of pivoting frame (trimmer) band locking is used on many different grain loader modifications. We keep standardized bands for new-generation units of our production in constant stock. However, considering the large number of machinery from various manufacturing years, converted machines, and units of other brands where the design or drum dimensions may differ, we have all the technical capabilities to manufacture these parts according to your individual requirements.

If your grain loader has a non-standard locking assembly, our specialists can adapt the band's geometry - make it from wider metal, longer or shorter for a proper drum wrap, and also use a different thread (bolt) on the guide shank. If necessary, to increase the friction coefficient and provide additional protection for the drum against wear, lining can be applied to the inner working surface of the band or other structural solutions implemented. Our production is ready to fulfill any individual order to guarantee the reliable and stable operation of the trimmer's braking mechanism on your specific machine.

Buy Brake Band ZP 01.241 from Zavod Moroza

Zavod Moroza builds its production on a continuous, live dialogue with engineers and machine operators of agricultural enterprises. We deeply understand the harsh realities of machinery operation on the threshing floor and know well that the brake band is the element that takes the main frictional load and most often suffers from the human factor (for example, attempts to turn the frame with a semi-clamped brake). It is this practical experience that prompted us to abandon outdated solutions with capricious intermediate rods - our modernized direct-action ZP 01.241 band is made of wear-resistant flexible metal with a reinforced guide shank, guaranteeing reliable drum wrap and exceptional endurance against extreme operational loads.

Purchasing this band directly from the manufacturer guarantees that you receive a part with precise geometry that will perfectly fit its working position and restore the correct kinematics of the entire trimmer locking assembly. Thanks to our powerful in-house production, we can both offer standardized products from stock and promptly manufacture parts with modified parameters or additional lining tailored to the specific needs of your farm.
