Brake Motors

Emerson Industrial Automation, a company well-known in the handling business, offers a new range of Leroy-Somer FFB Brake Motors developed around the “Flexible concept”, a high-performance design which is the product of over 50 years’ experience in industrial applications. This robust, innovative concept offers an extensive range of options associated with safety and variable speed as standard, thus making the FFB brake motor ideal for a multitude of applications. With the latest generation IMfinity® induction motor from Emerson, the FFB brake motor is based on a tried and tested design, ensuring it can withstand the most severe stresses encountered in handling applications. Its mechanical and electrical design is based on recognised expertise in industry, civil engineering and lifts, making it highly reliable and extremely robust. Many sectors, including conveying, hoisting, transfer and indexing, require safe and increasingly flexible drive solutions. The brake motor, at the heart of the system, is a key element for reliability and safety, and must meet the most demanding requirements in industry. Designed making full use of Emerson’s technological and industrial expertise, the FFB brake motor can be integrated in most fixed or variable speed applications quickly and easily. Its modular encoder adaptation principle makes it a versatile motor, suitable for the simplest to the most demanding variable speed applications. The total control of the noise level, for both pick-up and engagement, as well as optimum control of application and release, make the FFB brake motor one of the best of its generation. This new range, sized for dynamic braking, is based on failsafe operation. The industrial control of its performance (running-in of all the friction parts as standard) and a wide range of braking function supervision accessories (opening, closing and wear sensor, etc.), significantly increase the safety of the transmission chain.
