DC Injection Brake Ratings: 10-390A, 230 - 690V

Reduced stopping time:
- Increases production rate in machine tools and high inertia loads
- Increases safety of hazardous machines
Soft, smooth stopping prevents wear and tear of mechanical parts
Adjustable braking torque, matching load size and required stop time
Auto stop eliminates excessive motor heating
Maintenance free, highly reliable operation
Easy installation

Applications:

Machine tools
Circular saws
Stopping high inertia loads
Safety brakes
Large flywheel applications

Standard Ratings: The Solbrake should be selected according to the motor’s nominal current and starting conditions. For severe duty applications it is recommended that you select the next higher amperage rated unit. The Solbrake Electronic brake provides fast, smooth, frictionless braking of standard three phase AC motors by injecting controlled DC current into the motor windings after the line contactor has opened. This DC current induces a stationary magnetic field which exerts a braking torque on the rotor. The Solbrake is an ideal replacement for old electro-mechanical braking systems including reversing or regenerative braking. Settings:

Braking Torque – Determines the DC current level injected into the motor windings
Two operation modes:
- Auto Mode: DC Injection automatically ends when motor stops
- Manual Mode: DC Injection ends after a pre-set braking time. This mode can be used to briefly “hold” the load at stand still.
