ABB Brake Motor

ABB brake motors are standard three-phase IEC low-voltage motors modified for braking duties, designed to provide reliable stopping and secure load holding where controlled deceleration is required. The current ABB brake-motor catalogue covers aluminium motors in frame sizes 71 to 132 with outputs from 0.12 to 7.5 kW, making the range suitable for compact industrial installations that need precise braking performance.

Features

The brake is an electromagnetic disc design powered by DC current through a rectifier located in the terminal box; when the brake coil is de-energised, spring pressure applies the brake automatically. ABB states that the range offers compact construction, braking torque from 5 to 235 Nm, IP55 motor protection with IP54 protection for the brake mechanics, IC411 cooling, Class F insulation with temperature rise class B, hand release as an option, and operation in any mounting position. The published tables cover IE2 and IE3 versions at 400 V, 50 Hz, and ABB’s product page lists a voltage range from 220 V to 690 V.
