Brake Motors

Brake motors are a type of electric motor. However, these motors stop far more quickly than other electric motors, and thus they are essential in applications in which a precision hold of a load is required. A critical characteristic of a brake motor is the capability to come to an abrupt and reliable stop of any motion of the rotor part of the motor. This is accomplished predominantly in two ways: one, using the motor itself and what’s inside it; and two, by having something pull a brake if anything in the power sector of the motor isn’t by and large the way it should be.

Motors designed to provide a braking function enable the motor to stop more quickly once the power is removed, and the brake is also intended to maintain the motor's position when it is stopped. This means that "on" is activated when the power is off to make the motor safe and enable the equipment to which it's coupled to hold massive inertial loads during equipment operation without producing mechanical drift.

Motors configured to operate as brakes come in a variety of types: AC (alternating current) or DC (direct current). These motors are suited to work a variety of power schemes and can be found in a broad array of demanding applications. They also are available in different sizes and power capabilities, ranging from something small enough to fit inside a handheld device to something large and powerful enough to stop the motion of a piece of heavy industrial machinery. They have high reliability in a compact design with easy access for maintenance.
