Power off electromagnetic brake - spring applied (holding)

The Slim Line includes spring-pressure single-disc brakes for brake discs mounted non-positive on the shafts to be retarded. The brake disc, which is permanently connected to the shaft, can be designed as a motor fan. Owing to the single-disc brake design, SLIM LINE brakes are particularly flat. Based on the working principle, residue-free lifting is achieved. Electromagnetically-operated spring-pressure brakes build up the braking torque when the current is switched off.

A drive motor can also act as a generator. If the drive system is built so as to allow reverse power to flow then this power can be fed into a resistor, thus taking energy out of the system and causing whatever is driving the motor to slow down. Following to this the braking resistor converts the stop energy into heat. Electrical drive systems are being used more and more on ships, oil rigs, crane barges and offshore vessels of all types. An important benefit from using an electric drive is that reliable systems of regenerative and dynamic braking resistors are available to complement or replace traditional mechanical braking systems. The advantages of electric braking include control, reliability, mechanical simplicity, weight saving and in some cases the opportunity to make use of the regenerated braking energy. The Braking Resistor Units from Klöpper Therm are designed according to specific applications.
