Cryotron magnadrives indigenously manufactured low cost but high quality products incorporating high-grade components provides ebr electromagnetic brakes. The braking torque is generated by supplying dc voltage to the stator mounted with friction material, which in turn attracts the armature assembly. The brake is released by a pre-stressed sinusoidal wave spring when the supply voltage is discontinued. Salient features include zero backlash, non-asbestos friction materials, class f insulations, and low cost and superior quality. This electronic brake find applications in packaging machinery, wire drawing machines, material handling equipment, brake motors, machine tools, printing and packaging, powder and liquid filling machines, industrial automation etc.
