Mining and Off-Highway Truck Resistors
Mining and off-highway vehicles operate in some of the most demanding environments in the transportation industry. Braking resistors used on these vehicles must withstand heavy vibration, mechanical shock, temperature extremes, moisture, dirt, dust, and debris while providing reliable electrical and thermal performance.
Engineered for Your Application
Crohm Resistors designs and manufactures heavy-duty resistor assemblies for mining trucks and off-highway equipment. Manufactured in Cincinnati, Ohio, our resistor solutions are engineered around the specific power, duty-cycle, environmental, and dimensional requirements of each application.
Designed for Extreme Operating Conditions
Mining trucks and off-highway vehicles place significant demands on braking resistor systems. Repeated braking cycles can generate substantial heat, while rough terrain exposes components to continuous vibration and mechanical shock.
Crohm Resistors considers these conditions during the design process, with attention to:
- High mechanical shock and vibration
- Repeated thermal cycling
- High-power braking requirements
- Dirt, dust, and debris
- Moisture and changing weather conditions
- Limited installation space
- Weight and structural requirements
- Long-term operating reliability
