SPRING-SET (POWER-OFF) MOTOR BRAKES:

1. Armature-Actuated Brakes - DC Direct Acting
The Armature Actuated Brakes (AABs) are spring-set, electrically released direct-acting brakes which develop holding and braking torque in the absence of electrical power. Direct acting brakes use a magnet that pulls directly on a plate (armature) to release the brake. This brake can decelerate and hold a rotational load or can be ordered to provide a holding function only, where the motor is used as the dynamic brake.

The following Armitage-Acuated Brakes are available:

310 Series: Delivers high torque in a compact package for servo and stepper motor applications.

320 Series: Commercial duty, small gear motors and 321 Series TENV.

333 Series: High performance brake for metric/IEC applications. Direct interchange for Kebco, Lenze and Binder. Also available for NEMA C-Face mounting, including IP43 or IP54 enclosure.

350 Series: Pressure plate mounted, IP56 enclosure, ideal for portal crane applications.

360 Series: Magnet body mount for portal crane applications.

2. Solenoid-Actuated Brakes NEMA C-Face Mount
Solenoid Actuated Brakes (SABs) are spring-set, electrically released, utilizing a solenoid and lever arrangement to release the brake. SABs are available in many configurations including Close Coupled, Double C-face, Division 1 or Division 2 Hazardous location, Foot Mounted, and Navy/Maritime/Marine Duty. SABs mount directly to a NEMA C-face motor.

The following Solenoid-Actuated Brakes are available:

Close Coupled: Mounted directly to the accessory end of the motor. Available in NEMA 2/4/4X.
