Magnetic Brake Systems

Magnetic Brake Systems

Magnetic brake systems are reliable brake solutions used in electric motors to provide safe stopping, controlled operation and load holding. Manufactured as standard for 220 V and 24 V supply voltage, magnetic brakes can be mounted on motors with or without a fan.

As long as no power is supplied, the brake remains closed by spring pressure. When power is supplied to the system, the magnetic force generated overcomes the spring pressure and allows the brake to open. Thanks to this operating principle, the motor stops safely and operates in a controlled manner.

How Does a Magnetic Brake System Work?

In magnetic brakes, the system is normally in the closed position. When electrical energy is not supplied, the spring force keeps the brake disc under pressure and prevents motor movement. When energy is supplied, an electromagnetic field is generated; this field overcomes the spring pressure, opens the brake and allows the motor to operate.

This feature provides a major advantage, especially in industrial machines where safe stopping is important.

Technical Features of Magnetic Brakes

In standard production, the brake disc is connected to the motor shaft by a spline-fit method. The DC supply voltage is obtained with suitable diodes. Appropriate wiring diagrams should be used for instant and delayed closing applications.

For special operating conditions or different usage requirements, technical support is recommended. This allows the most suitable magnetic brake to be selected for the system.

Applications

Magnetic brake systems are preferred in many industrial applications:

Electric motors
Crane systems
Lifting equipment
Conveyor systems
Industrial machines
Automation systems
Geared motors
Heavy-duty machines

Magnetic brakes provide high performance in systems requiring safe stopping, controlled movement and load holding.

Advantages of Magnetic Brake Systems

Magnetic brakes are frequently preferred in industrial applications thanks to their compact structure and reliable operating principle.

Main advantages:

Provides safe stopping
Keeps the brake closed when power is cut off
Can be manufactured with 220 V and 24 V options
Can be applied to motors with or without a fan
Offers instant and delayed closing options
Provides a strong connection to the motor shaft
Easy supply of spare brake linings
Suitable for heavy-duty applications
Micro switch can be added

Brake Lining and Spare Parts Advantage

The brake linings used in magnetic brakes have properties compatible with linings used in the automotive industry, making spare parts easy to obtain. This simplifies maintenance processes and provides an important advantage for businesses.

With regular maintenance, brake performance is maintained, the risk of failure is reduced and the service life of the system is extended.

Heavy-Duty Magnetic Brakes

For heavy-duty magnetic brakes, 10, 20, 30, 50 and 80 kg/m options can be used. In these types of brakes, a micro switch can be added to prevent the motor from starting before the brake is released.

This feature ensures more controlled and safer operation, especially in machines requiring high safety.

Points to Consider When Choosing a Magnetic Brake

Choosing the right magnetic brake is very important for system safety and operating efficiency. The following criteria should be considered when selecting a brake:

Motor power
Supply voltage
Brake torque
Working environment
Whether the motor has a fan or not
Instant or delayed closing requirement
Shaft connection type
Frequency of use
Heavy-duty working conditions

An incorrectly selected brake system may reduce motor performance and create safety risks. Therefore, product selection should be made according to technical requirements.
