Nexen Group’s (Vadnais Heights, MN) Eclipse Servo Motor Brakes offer distinct advantages over spring-engaged, electrically-released brakes, says the company. With Nexen’s servo motor brake, no energy is consumed when the brake is disengaged. They are also designed to mount to the shaft end of servo motors up to 20 horsepower, including NEMA 23, 34 and 42 frame sizes. The brake’s square-shaped housing allows flexibility to custom make the mounting features match the motor dimensions. Other benefits of the Eclipse servo motor brakes include:
• Fail-safe, power-off engagement.
• High torque – 50% more torque than competitive models (torque range 2 to 125 Nm).
• Zero backlash for accurate holding.
• Integral flanges, which adapt to any servo motor or AC motor brand and mounting style.
• High torsional rigidity, no system wind-up.
• Models configured to hold the machined end of a ball screw.
• Can be used for intermittent dynamic stopping.
• Spring engaged for holding and E-stop applications.
• High speed capability – engineered and balanced for servo applications.
