The utility model provides a hand brake system used on a non-beam pumping unit, including a drive mechanism mounted at the lower part of the pumping unit and an actuator mounted on a side of the main drive sprocket of the pumping unit, and the drive mechanism and the actuator are connected by a wire rope. In the utility model, the drive mechanism and actuator of the brake system are separately arranged, thus ensuring promptness of braking and eliminating the potential safety hazard of workers falling from a height. The braking mode of the existing brake system on a pumping unit is to achieve the braking function by locking the rotary shaft from the outer side. The braking force upon braking is relatively small and the braking reliability is relatively poor.
