High power density and safety function
Safety with spring force
The growing robotics market and other industries are demanding drive components with high power densities and safety functions.
This is why Maschinenfabrik Mönninghoff offers a space-saving and powerful spring-applied holding brake as an alternative to conventional permanent magnet holding brakes. The Mönninghoff tooth holding brake can be used wherever frictional brakes offer high positioning accuracy but quickly reach their limits due to the frictional torque transmission. New manufacturing processes enable face gearing, which can position and fix the brake in fine increments. The positive torque transmission offers torques of up to 6,000 Newton meters. In its normal state, the spring-applied tooth holding brake is held closed without current by the compression springs that engage the two face-toothed toothed rings. The brake is released by means of an electromagnet, which counteracts the spring force and thus releases the brake. This enables the brake to act as a fail-safe product. In all its functions, this spring-applied tooth holding brake can also be used as a clutch. as
