Functional Features:

  • Spring-applied: brakes engage on power loss (fail-safe)
  • Electrically released: requires 24 V DC to disengage
  • Friction disc material for consistent holding torque
  • Integrated connector for drive interface

Advantages:

  • Safety-critical holding without continuous power
  • Fast release for high-cycle applications
  • Compatible with Kollmorgen AKD and AKM drives

Applicable Industries:
Vertical axis machines, robotic arms, conveyor systems, packaging equipment, medical devices (patient positioning)

Material Composition:

  • Housing: Cast aluminum
  • Friction disc: Sintered metal composite
  • Coil: Copper windings on steel bobbin
  • Springs: Stainless steel

Installation Requirements:

  • Mount between motor and load using standard B5 bolt pattern
  • Wire brake control to drive brake output terminal
  • Set brake release delay in drive parameter to match motor acceleration

Usage Notes:

  • Never bypass brake for vertical load applications
  • Check brake gap every 6 months (adjust if > 0.5 mm)
  • Use only 24 V DC supply; overvoltage destroys coil
