Selecting and Applying Brakes for Motor Applications

 

Catalog specs don’t tell the whole story.

Designing industrial equipment driven by various types of motors? When it comes to precise holding, accurate positioning, and emergency stops, there’s no margin for error. The KEB Brake Design Guide delivers the selection and integration specifications you need to design your product right… the first time.

What you’ll learn:

  • -Quantitative torque specifications for all brake sizes.
  • -Temperature-dependent performance curves and their implications.
  • -Accurate alignment tolerances to avoid premature bearing and coil failures.
  • -Optimized power supply configurations that reduce ripple factor and electromagnetic interference.

 

You will discover:

  • -The impact of air gap miscalculations on magnetic engagement failures.
  • -How nearby ferritic materials can disrupt your coil’s magnetic field.
  • -Which brake technology truly ensures fail-safe operation?
