Products Products: Electromagnetic Spring-Applied Brakes
Suggested Applications

Stromag brakes are ideally suited for use as holding devices in applications where motor is used to accurately position a load. The spring-applied brake will hold the load in it determined position until power is removed. In addition, Stromag brakes are designed to be used as stopping devices. They can be used to stop machinery in an emergency situation or in a pre-determined manner.

Stromag brakes are available as off-the-shelf or our applications engineers can provide you with a custom design.

Stromag brakes are field-proven in such applications as: Mobile equipment, robotics, material handling systems and machine tools.

Features

  • Direct acting operation with no solenoids or other linkage. Springs are compressed when power is applied. Braking occurs when power is removed
  • Cerametallic pads can be added to armature for high heat dissipation and long life.
  • Precise engaging time
  • fixed adjustable torque models.
  • Torque adjustable from a single point
  • Seven standard models available with torque rating from 15 ft.-lbs. to 600 ft. - lbs. max. dynamic
  • unitzed construction with ductile iron frame or open-frame construction with optional metal-stamped protective cover
  • splined hub for uniform load distribution, minimal backlash and long life.
  • Optional over generization control circuit provides shorter brake release time and increases brake life.
  • Special pneumatic or hydraulic models available.
  • Custom design for space requirements
  • optional tachometer mounting
  • limit switch actuation signal available.
  • Optional zero backlash.
  • Optional sea-water proof models.

Shipped and ready To work for you!

Stromag brakes are shipped ready to use. Just attach the hub, mount the brake and connect it to the voltage control source. All brakes are tested for maximum torque rating before shipment.
