Hydromatic brake

A device mounted on the end of the drawworks shaft of a drilling rig. The hydromatic brake (often simply called the hydromatic) serves as an auxiliary to the mechanical brake when pipe is lowered into the well. The braking effect in a hydromatic brake is achieved by means of a runner or impeller turning in a housing filled with water.
