Spring-engaged brake


Elmira, New York – The spring engaged brake (SEB) showcases the range of options available to OEMs.

The SEB series is spring engaged and electromagnetically released for use dry or in oil depending on the friction material used. Robust friction materials are available with higher torque density for both static and dynamic engagement. Multiple disc configurations are available when higher torque is needed in a smaller package.

OEMs can also select custom coatings, enclosures and materials for conditions as varied as water, oil, salt spray, high pressure, low/high temperature and even a vacuum environment such as space.

The SEB series offers custom voltages, as well as fully potted coils (standard or vacuum potted), dual coils, and step down power designs. Special integrated drive hubs and specialty enclosures with sensors or manual release are additional design options.

SEB Series highlights include:

  • Static torque: from a few oz-in to 5,000+ lb-ft
  • Max speed: 20,000rpm
  • Magnet body diameter: less than 1” to 20+”
  • Full motor/brake actuator assemblies available
