Brakes put a stop to smaller motors

A range of specialist electromechanical brakes can be used on a variety of electric motors with rear shaft extensions.

OCRobotics has developed a range of specialist electromechanical brakes that can be used on a variety of electric motors with rear shaft extensions.

Rated to hold 200mNm, the brakes have been designed to fit the profiles of very small 42 and 32mm diameter motors.

Open-frame versions are available for use in applications where the overall machine housing provide sufficient environmental protection, enabling a weight saving.

And fully enclosed, housed versions provide physical protection and aesthetics for applications where motors are visible or exposed.

All the brakes provide a rear shaft extension to allow encoders, resolvers or tachometers to be fitted to them.

The brakes have been used on snake-arm robots for military and nuclear applications.
