Electric Motors with Brakes

Braked motors integrate an electromagnetic brake assembly, typically on the non-drive end. The brake is usually spring-applied, electrically released – engaging automatically when power is removed.

These are standard electric motors with an integrated electromagnetic brake mounted on the non-drive end (typically). The brake is usually spring-applied and electrically released – when power is applied to both motor and brake coil, the brake releases; when power is removed, springs engage the brake pads against a disc mounted on the motor shaft, bringing it to a controlled stop.

  • All Standard Motor Components: Stator, rotor, bearings, etc.

  • Brake Assembly: Electromagnet, armature, brake disc

  • Brake Springs: Provide stopping force when de-energized

  • Friction Pads/Linings: Create braking torque

  • Adjustment Mechanism: For setting proper air gap

  • Additional Terminal Box: Separate brake wiring connections

Complete Guide to Electric Motors (With Brakes)

Electric motors convert electrical energy into rotational motion. Motors equipped with a brake include a braking system for quick stopping and precise position control, making them suitable for applications requiring safe and accurate halting—such as cranes, elevators, and automated machinery. Motors without brakes are used in continuous-duty applications where immediate braking is not needed, such as fans, pumps, and conveyors.
