The design of this brake is highly compact and modern, with no need for a foundation since it is directly mounted on the non-driving end shaft of the motor. It consists of a liner plate (brake disc) with a square hole in the center, and a matching square hub is provided with the brake. This hub is keyed to the motor shaft, while the liner plate remains free on the hub. Typically, the liner plate is secured between two discs using spring pressure. The system operates on 230/415 VAC. When electrical current is applied to the brake, one disc is drawn toward the electromagnet, overcoming the spring pressure, and releasing the liner plate, thus disengaging the brake (brake "off" state). Once set, the brake requires no further adjustment or maintenance. Periodically, the only maintenance needed is to check and maintain the air gap as the liner plate wears over time. A manual release mechanism for the brake can be added upon request.
