Ogura electromagnetic thin style holding brakes: Ultra-thin style of holding brakes are designed to reduce the overall footprint of a motor brake package. Through internal flux improvements, brakes are thinner and lighter but can produce similar torques of previous designs.

Holding brakes smaller than a penny

Posted 3 months ago

Requirements for fine controls and robotics and medical equipment are becoming smaller all the time. Small motors and gearing are required to drive various holding, lifting, and positioning mechanisms.

Would you like to do more than just hold it?

Posted 3 months ago

The SNB series of spring applied brakes from Ogura allows machine designers to not just use a brake for holding but also for stopping a load.

What does it mean to be torque dense?
