The SOLBRAKE is the ultimate replacement for the old electrical braking systems such as reversing or regenerative braking (which requires resistors to absorb the energy).
The SOLBRAKE can be used with mechanical brakes to softly bring the motor speed to zero before operating a mechanical brake.
Solid state motor brakes provide fast, smooth and frictionless braking of squirrel cage induction motors by injecting controlled DC current into the motor windings, after the mains contactor has been opened.
This induces a stationary magnetic field field which exerts the braking of the motor.
