New Ogura Smaller Size Low Cost Brake
Ogura's MCB5 electromagnetic brake delivers the same amount of torque, 4.5 in.-lb., as the previous AMB5 but does so at a 20 percent smaller diameter and a 24 percent smaller overall width. The brake comes standard with a 24 volt coil, but other coil voltages are available. Standard speed capability is 3,600 RPM, but higher speeds are possible. The brake uses a zero backlash spring armature, so there is no rattle noise when the brake is disengaged. The bore in the hub/armature comes standard with a keyway and two set screws. The small, lightweight brake is RoHS compliant and is suited for both industrial and automotive requirements.
If this clutch does not meet your needs please contact Ogura at (732) 271-7361 for assistance finding one that does, or visit www.ogura-clutch.com.
