Ball Screw Brake offers zero backlash for precision holding.
Mechanical Power Transmission

Ball Screw Brake offers zero backlash for precision holding.

Functioning as redundant braking or load holding mechanism, ball screw/stage brake is high-torque, spring-engaged, air-released brake acting on non-driven end of ball screw. It serves as safety brake in event of mechanical defect in driveline, particularly in Z-axis applications. Featuring bi-directional braking, it operates in both vertical and horizontal applications. Brake allows thermal...
