Brake Motors

A brake motor is an electric motor with an integrated electromagnetic brake, typically "fail-safe" (power-off activated), meaning the brake automatically engages via springs when power is cut or fails, ensuring immediate and safe stopping. This combined unit is crucial for applications requiring rapid deceleration, accurate positioning, and load holding, especially on vertical axes. They are widely used in cranes, hoists, conveyor systems, textile machinery, machine tools, and packaging equipment. Brake motors ensure safety, prevent coasting, and maintain precise load control, often featuring adjustable braking torque and available in both AC and DC coil types with varying efficiency classes.
