Stepper/Servo Brakes
It is a failsafe, or power-off brake, specifically designed to be mounted on the front end of stepper or servo motors as an added safety feature or for holding the load in place. Available in two popular sizes, NEMA 23 and NEMA 34, the FEB is compact, powerful and cost-efficient. The brake holds the load like a parking brake or can be designed to stop the load when the power is shut when the power is shut off. The brake can also be used as a safety device in order to prevent the machine from operating when power fails.
The brake is suitable for such applications as office and factory automation, material handling, robotics, CNC tools and systems, medical equipment, computer chip manufacturing equipment, clean room manufacturing equipment, electronic circuit board manufacturing, packaging machinery, etc.
Easily attached to a stepper or servo motor by simply bolting it on or plugging it in.
