Electric Motor Brake

electric motor brake

These electric motor brakes are designed and built to provide unusually high torque for their compact size, and meet the braking requirements of a wide range of machinery.

The design of CJM's EFS Electric Brakes (and electric motor brakes) incorporates a multiple disc brake unit, which is kept compressed by radially-spaced coil springs between the armature and end plate, resulting in a constant "holding" force as long as the coil is not energized.

When energized, electromagnetic force flows through the flux path to override spring pressure, releasing the friction discs for drag-free shaft rotation.

Carlyle Johnson engineering staff can modify our standard electric brakes / electric motor brakes, or we can develop a new product to meet your exact specific needs.

Furnished ready for use, electric spring set electric brakes / electric motor brakes can be quickly installed by sliding the brake over the keyed shaft and bolting it to a frame member. Optional C-faced non-magnetic flanges are available which enable direct-mounting on C-frame motors.
