Spring-Applied Fail-Safe Brake (Type-FSB)

Clutches and brakes manufactured by Magpower Systems (India) Pvt Ltd, Mumbai, are intended for start/stop applications. They come in various types to meet different requirements. Spring-applied brakes, Type FSB, are typical fail-safe brakes. Its braking torque is produced by spring pressure and the brake is released electro-magnetically. When there is no current flowing through the brake coil, the fail-safe operation of the brake is derived from the braking torque generated by the spring pressure. When current flows through the brake coil, the spring pressure is neutralised by the developed electromagnetic force, which enables the brake to be released. They are suitable for dry applications only. Features: individual spring pressure adjustment permits precise setting of braking moment; a low level of wear owing to the use of an abrasion resistant friction material and a large friction area; manual release is provided as an additional feature which enables the brake to be released mechanically, in case of power failure; the brakes have short switching time and operate in milliseconds; seals are provided to prevent the ingress of foreign matter, thus ensuring a long life and smooth functioning of the brake.
