Powerful braking in a compact and lightweight package
The XS-series of spring actuated, electrically released brakes from Warner Electric - part of the Altra Industrial Motion Corporation - has been developed specifically to meet stringent space and weight requirements, providing reliable braking performance in a package weighing as little as 27g. Designed as statically engaged holding brakes, the XS units can also be used to stop a moving load in exceptional situations.
The latest innovation from Warner Electric is designed to operate with actuators that spend most of their time stationary. The actuator is designed to move a load into the desired position, then hold it there while the product or machine performs its role. Typical applications for this type of motion include the position adjustment systems used in seats or medical equipment.
