Spring set brake for general applications

Paul Boughton
The SMB series are a power-off, dc, spring set brake designed for general industrial applications. The brakes stop or hold a load when electrical power is either accidentally lost or intentionally disconnected. Braking force is produced via springs so basic fluctuations in voltage and temperature have no effect on the brake. Standard voltages are 24 and 90 volts. These brakes are typically used on holding robots, Z axis ball screws, servo motors, and general electric motors.

Many extra features are offered with the versatile product series:

* High torque in a small space makes for a very compact design brake.
* Releasing by springs provides rapid torque build-up.
* Durable friction material extends life and maximizes brake performance.
* Quiet actions.s
