Electromagnetic Brakes are designed for wind turbines.

info@productnews.com (ThomasNet News) — Tue, 17 Mar 2009 08:30:25 -0500

Electrically-released, spring-engaged brakes of ERS series serve as pitch brakes for wind turbine applications that require both static holding power and ability to withstand high inertia dynamic stops in emergency situation. Each electromagnetic brake is mounted outboard of inductive encoder, which is mounted to back of motor to position blades to proper pitch. Largest model, ERS68, has capacity of more than 20,000 fully-loaded dynamic stops and offers 100 lb-ft of static torque.

Clutch/Brake Modules feature electromagnetic operation.

info@productnews.com (ThomasNet News) — Thu, 19 Feb 2009 08:34:08 -0500

With internal component mounting and external housing fin design, Gen 2 Clutch/Brake Modules feature optimal heat dissipation and stop/start frequencies, particularly in enclosed configurations. Input-to-output axis alignment minimizes vibration, noise, and wear, while integrated mounting bolts facilitate installation and allow conduit box to be located directly on top of unit. Modules are suited for motion control in material handling, food processing, and packaging applications.

Power-Off Brakes provide static holding in absence of power.

info@productnews.com (ThomasNet News) — Tue, 12 Dec 2006 07:47:38 -0500

Available in diameters from 1.83-5.00 in., Thomson-Deltran AKB series spring-set electromagnetic power-off brakes provide static engagement with torque from 12.5-470 lb-in. While field assembly is fixed and prevented from rotating, rotor assembly is secured to shaft. In absence of power, fixed and rotating components are engaged which stops and/or holds load. When coil is energized, rotating components are disengaged, allowing shaft to rotate freely.

Clutch/Brake Modules require no maintenance.

info@productnews.com (ThomasNet News) — Tue, 02 Aug 2005 08:39:34 -0500

Electromagnetic Smooth-Start UniModules provide consistent, smooth starting and stopping throughout entire torque range. Units are NEMA C-face compatible and automatically adjust for wear. They can be paired with CBC-300 clutch/brake control, which allows clutch and brake torque levels to be set independently. Once torque levels are set, control's circuitry supplies constant current to clutch/brake, regardless of voltage or operating environment.
