No additional electrical connection necessary
When developing the ROSYNCs energy-saving motor, the usual self-holding torque of synchronous motors in a de-energised state was largely dispensed with in favour of smooth running and efficiency.
As there are also applications where a holding torque is required, ROTEK has now developed a magnetic brake for it.
The advantage over electrical and mechanical brakes is that they are completely wear-free and fail-safe. No additional electrical connection is required for the brake. It has the same diameter as the motor, making it only 22 mm longer. Another advantage if only limited installation space is available.
Their holding torque is 6 Ncm. With geared motors, the holding torque increases many times over depending on the selected gear ratio.
This solution is also favourably priced because it is generated from the ROTEK modular system. The brake is available for all ROSYNC models with a side stranded wire design (no terminal box).
