Spring Applied Dc Fail Safe Brake

Cryotron Magnadrives offers a Spring Applied DC Fail Safe Brake, FBR Series. These brakes, as the name suggest, 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 released. When power is discontinued or interrupted the braking torque is instantly achieved by the compression springs. This brake also has an optional and unique manual release feature. Brakes are available from 4 nm to 400 nm torque in 9 sizes. Miniature series from 0.5 nm onwards is also available. Operating volts ranges from 24 to 190 volts DC. 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.
