Cryotron magnadrives supplies electromagnetic spring with fail-safe brake. The braking torque is generated by several compression springs. The brake is released electrically by supplying dc voltage. In the event of power failure and breakdown, the brake immediately reverts to fail-safe action. It also has a unique manual release feature. Some of the salient features include zero backlash, non-asbestos friction materials, class f insulations, and low cost and superior quality. Fail-safe brake find application in packaging machinery, wire drawing machines, material handling equipment, brake motors, machine tools, printing and packaging, powder and liquid filling machines, industrial automation, etc.
