Electromagnetic disc brake

Intrinsic-safety electromagnetic disc brakes, for single shaft motors.

The brake is designed to assure, when no voltage is applied, the intrinsic safety equal than brake label value in Nm. When exciting the electromagnet the armature plate is pulled towards the electromagnet itself, thus loading the pressure springs and enabling the disc, to turn freely. When the current fails, the pressure springs move the armature plate towards the disc, braking the motor.

The use of electromagnetic brakes ensure a fast stop of the motor, increasing the safety level of the machine.
