Friction brake

Backlash free, electromagnetic flange mounted power on brake for energised stopping in static and dynamic applications. The flange mounted power on brake, also known as a single-surface or single-disc brake, generates a braking effect when the coil is energised. The brake body is mounted on the drive and when energised (working current) with nominal voltage, the armature disc is attracted through the minimal air gap to generate a static braking effect. This power on brake is typically used to safely stop and hold a rotating force in position. Due to the integrated, abrasion-resistant and asbestos-free brake lining, it can also be used for dynamic braking applications. The force can be regulated up to the nominal voltage by an external voltage regulator. Flange mounted power on brakes are suited to automation within machinery, material handling and warehouse logistics as well as military, security and medical applications. Zero backlash The durable construction means that this power-on brake is essentially zero backlash (torsionally rigid) creating an increased level of safety and accuracy. Multi pole Our electromagnetic power on brake also comes in a range of high torque (multi-pole) versions, which give a higher static torque. These are generally used for static holding applications, but may be used for limited occasional dynamic use, as they generally do not have an embedded friction ring in the working face. The segmentation of the pole face offers an optimisation of the iron-copper ratio, increasing the proportion of iron in the holding surface and the usable iron surface. This technology can also be applied to clutches and power-on brakes.
