A Reel Braking System for Drip Lateral Handling EquipmentPublished by the American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers, St. Joseph, Michigan www.asabe.org Citation: Applied Engineering in Agriculture. 2(2): 101-103. (doi: 10.13031/2013.26720) @1986Authors: Wayne Coates Keywords: Drip irrigation, Installation, Irrigation laterals THE control of reel peripheral velocity during installa-tion of drip irrigation laterals is a major problem with present equipment. An improved braking system was developed using a rotary hydraulic actuator in a closed loop circuit in combination with a caliper disc brake. Laboratory evaluation indicated improved performance for implement speeds of 3 to 16 km/h. (Download PDF) (Export to EndNotes)
