Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2123592A1] The mechanism has an orientation geared motor (8) including an internal main brake (12) that is deactivated when a tower crane is deactivated. Additional braking units are activated when the tower crane is deactivated for exerting a brake torque on a turning part (2) of a tower crane to avoid an uncontrolled rotation of the turning part, during setting vane. The additional braking units are incorporated in the geared motor, where the braking units are in a form of an internal annex brake (15) i.e. single brake disc, intercalated between a motor (10) and a reducer (11).
