Brake motors

In many applications it is important to bring drives to a stop safely and quickly. VEM brake motors are a good and safe choice for elevators, hoists, cranes, winches, conveyor systems or machine tools.

Brake motors are electric motors that are equipped with an integrated brake. These motors are used in applications where it is important that the load is stopped or held in position quickly and safely after the motor is switched off.

Features

Brake motors are characterized by their integrated brake, which is often operated electromagnetically. This brake enables the movement to be stopped quickly and safely, which is particularly important in safety-critical applications. Additionally, brake motors can hold a load in a specific position even when the motor is off. Modern brake motors are often energy efficient and provide precise control, resulting in improved performance and lower energy consumption. Their robust construction makes them resistant to vibrations and other stresses, so they function reliably even in harsh environments.

Applications

Brake motors are used in numerous applications. In conveyor technology, they ensure that conveyor belts and other material transport systems can be stopped quickly if necessary. In crane and lifting systems, they enable heavy loads to be moved and held safely. In mechanical engineering, brake motors in machine tools and other industrial machines ensure precise stopping and holding of tools. In automation technology, they are used to precisely control movements in automated production systems and to ensure safety. Finally, brake motors in escalators and elevators are indispensable to ensure the safe stopping and holding of the cabins and steps.
