Brake

Term · Oil and gas · MLC-T-OAG-000444

A mechanical system on a drilling rig used to control the speed and position of the drawworks, which hoists and lowers the drill string. It allows the driller to manage the weight on bit and the rate of descent during tripping operations. Modern rigs often use disc brakes or electromagnetic braking systems for precise control.
