AMS and AMMES brake motors (three- and single-phase) are engineered to help woodworking equipment manufacturers comply with the industry's PUWER 98 and ACoP safety standards.

AEG Electric Motors' AMS and AMMES brake motors (three- and single-phase) are engineered to help woodworking equipment manufacturers comply with the industry's PUWER 98 and ACoP safety standards.

With DC coil low-torque braking, they meet the industry's requirement to stop the majority of machine tools within 10 seconds - the time lag is intended to prevent damage to machinery and hazardous situations arising.

With the HSE's deadline of November 2005 for the fitting of compliant braking systems to many existing and second-hand woodworking machines, AEG is expecting a significant increase in interest in these ranges of motors.

As well as meeting industry specific safety requirements, the motors are also failsafe machines: a combination that ensures maximum machine safety.

In addition, the fact that these brake motors are only marginally longer than standard machines they are ideal for retrofit applications on existing machines.

This compactness results from the fact that AEG manufactures its own DC brake components, ensuring optimum motor/brake interface.

These ranges of AEG brake motors are available in frame sizes from 63 to 315 and power ratings from 0.11 to 200kW.
