Electromagnetic Brake (Normally Off)

Cryotron Magnadrives offers an Electromagnetic Brake, EBR Series. This brake typically consists of a stationary field coil embedded with friction material. It is used mainly to stop rotating motion instantly. It functions by electrically energising the field coil with designated DC voltage. Upon excitation it magnetises the moving armature plate and brings it to a halt instantaneously. When the applied voltage is discontinued the sinusoidal wave spring fitted on armature retracts it to its original position. Hence the brake is released. Various designs of armature plate mountings are available for easy configuration on to the equipment. EBR brakes are available in torque range from 6 nm to 480 nm in 7 sizes. Torque transmission is free of any backlash. Miniature series for low torques from 0.5 nm to 5 nm and higher braking torques of 650 nm to 2500 nm are available in HT series. The company also offers Clutch Brake Combination Unit, CBC Electromagnetic Encased Clutch-brake Combination-Type, SMC Electromagnetic Shaft Mounted: Clutch-Type: (Normally Off), ECL Electromagnetic Clutch (Normally Off), FBR Electromagnetic Spring-applied Fail Safe Brake, etc.
