 Miki Pulley Electro-Magnetic Brakes Provide More Stopping Power for Servo Motors

Miki Pulley Electro-Magnetic Brakes Provide More Stopping Power for Servo Motors

Miki Pulley spring-applied electro-magnetic brakes safely hold a static position, without the need for external power. The BXR-LE Miki Pulley brake series is a power-off, engaged brake design. When the stator is energized, the brake is disengaged allowing free rotation. When no current is applied, compression springs halt the brake rotor thereby stopping the input shaft rotation. This is an ideal feature to prevent rotation during power failure events.
