Precision and reliability

in the smallest of spaces

Our electromagnetic brakes & clutches are compact, yet deliver the precise performance and high reliability essential for demanding applications and tight spaces. Ideal for small motors used in a variety of industries, these brakes provide optimal safety and operational control in the most restricted spaces.

Benefits include

  • Flexible integration: Suitable for different mounting options, either integrated or externally mounted

  • Space-saving design: Saves space without sacrificing performance

  • High power density: Extraordinary performance in a compact form factor

     

The application determines the brake

There are two electromagnetic braking principles that can be used in servo motors:  permanent magnet brakes (integrated mounting) and spring-applied brakes (integrated or external mounting). The choice between these two systems depends on the specific requirements of the application.

How diverse can your small motor applications be?
