Miki Pulley Electric Brakes Suitable for Servo Motor Applications

August 17, 2018
Miki Pulley’s BXR-LE electric spring applied brakes are ideal for small and precise servo motor configurations. Their unique compact and lightweight design optimizes servo drive performance and efficiency. 

With accompanying voltage controller, the brake’s power consumption is stepped down to 7VDC after a split second of 24VDC for brake actuation. When compared to most other electric brakes, the BXR-LE design provides just one-third power consumption and heat generation in one-half the overall size thickness. 

Specifications include a maximum 6,000 rpm, static friction torque range from 0.044 to 2.36 ft. lb. (0.06 Nm to 3.20 Nm) and an ambient operating temperature 14°F – 104°F (-10°C to 40°C). Additional applications for the BXR-LE brakes include end effectors, ball screw actuators, XYZ positioning tables and 3D printers.
