Stop! An important command in a motion system. Often brakes are used to mechanically slow the system, but brakes are also used to hold the load in place. Each brake type serves a purpose. When you order a brake with your motor, do you know what kind of brake you’re getting? Is it a failsafe brake used to hold the load, or is it a dynamic brake used to slow the system? Are you looking to establish a safe dynamic braking system? Join us for this educational session on motor brakes and learn the right way to brake your motor for any application need.
In this session you’ll:
- Learn about the various brake types: failsafe, dynamic, and safe dynamic braking
- Determine system needs for effective braking
- Step through the process of using our Safe Dynamic Braking Calculator
