Design, development and manufacturing of engineered braking solutions for electrically powered vehicles such as Electric Lift Trucks, Personnel Movers, Turf Care and more.

Our product range is from a few NM of torque to 10,000 NM, in diameters as small as 30mm. Stromag brakes provide a direct acting operation with no solenoids or other linkages. Spring-applied braking occurs when power is removed. Features are selected to provide the most cost effective solutions, from the simplest to the most complex.

Some of the common features are:

• A means to release the brake manually
• High protection against harsh environments
• Micro switches to determine when the brake is released
• Low backlash
• Adjustable torque
• Quiet operation
• Compensation for wear
• Split armatures for soft stop
• Dual coils for multiple step torque
• Floating lndividual linings that eliminates gear drive

Stromag brakes are shipped ready to use. Just attach the hub, mount the brake and connect it to the voltage control source. All brakes are tested for the maximum torque rating before shipment.

Advantages and Characteristics

• Spring-Applied/Magnetically released
• No residual torque
• Compact/flat construction
• Very low mass moment of inertia
• lnsensitive to magnetic stray flux and temperature fluctuations
• No brake torque drop with brake heating
• Polarity not necessary when making electrical connection
• Very simple mounting without applying voltage to the brake
• The brake components are interchangeable
• The occurring axial force is affective in braked condition only ,i.e. at zero
• lncreased magnetic air gap caused by wear at the friction faces does not affect braking ability
