Sepac is touting its SETB electromagnetic spring-engaged tooth brake – designed to deliver reliable, consistent operation within medical applications.
The power-off brake offers large bore sizes, low backlash, high torque-to-size ratio, a high number of index positions, positive engagement and a reliable coil with custom voltages available. Many of the features are not commercially available elsewhere in the marketplace, according to Sepac, which says the SETB brake is a top choice for medical applications such as robotics, scanning equipment and treatment tables.
Highlights of the SETB include:
- Less than 0.5° of backlash within the brake once properly installed;
- A high number of index positions;
- High-temperature Class H insulation fully potted coil rated for 180 °C;
- Typically a 2:1 reduction in size when compared to a friction style brake with similar torque ratings;
- Lead wires can also be routed through the bore or the rear of the magnet body.
Sepac frequently customizes SETBs and other product designs to fit OEM applications in the medical market and other industries. Custom bore sizes are available based on specific application requirements and each brake is virtually maintenance-free under proper operating conditions.
Sepac (Elmira, N.Y.) is a custom engineering company and manufacturer of motion control products including electromagnetic clutches and brakes.
