Ogura Design Advantages





UL and CSA Recognized as a component for use in motion control systems. Approved in accordance with UL508, 17th edition and CSAC 22.2 No. 14-13, 12th edition.

HIGH TORQUE COMPACT DESIGN

Because permanent magnets are used versus springs, the overall size of the brakes is smaller for a given torque size. Because the brakes are smaller, their weight is also less, which can be an advantage in some applications.

CONTROLLED STOP

Since torque is directly controlled by flux, a brake can be tuned to provide a softer stop in an application versus having full torque applied.

EASILY CUSTOMIZED FOR YOUR APPLICATION

Both the mounting flange and the output hub and armature assembly can be easily modified to fit your existing application.

ZERO BACKLASH

The PMB Series of Brakes have a spring mounted armature, which eliminates backlash in the brake.

NO DRAG TORQUE

When brakes are released, an airgap is present which completely releases the armature resulting in zero drag.

HIGH OPERATING TEMPERATURES

The standard magnetic material used in the brakes can accommodate temperatures up to 140 degrees celsius. If an application requires it, special material is also available on some sizes to accommodate higher temperatures.

NOTE:

Brakes require a variable power supply to make sure they are properly tuned for an application.
