Spring Applied Dc Fail Safe Brake: R

R Series brakes as the name suggests this is a typical Fail Safe Brake or a Safety Brake. The braking torque is achieved by several compression springs acting upon the armature plate. This floating plate in turn transmits braking torque on the rotor with friction material which gets sandwiched between the mounting flange and armature. The brake is released electrically by applying DC voltage. Upon excitation the armature plate attracts towards the stator and the rotor gets release. When power is discontinued or interrupted the braking torque is instantly achieved by the compression springs. The brake also has an optional and unique manual release feature.

Brakes available from 4 Nm torque in 9 sizes. Miniature series from 0.5 Nm onwards also available. Operating volts range form 24 to 190 Volts DC.
