Brake Motor
Brook Crompton Motors

Brook Crompton’s Brake Motors are engineered for industries that demand both reliable drive performance and immediate stopping capabilities. Built upon the versatile W Series platform, these motors are available in aluminium frames (sizes 63–180, 0.07–22 kW) and cast-iron frames (sizes 80–355, up to 400 kW), ensuring suitability across diverse environments, from clean indoor facilities to harsh industrial settings.
Featuring DC spring-applied brake kits, these motors stop quickly and hold firmly upon power loss, ideal for conveyors, hoists, packaging lines, and machinery requiring precise positioning. Brook Crompton’s innovative brake kit design ensures swift delivery and straightforward installation.
Features
Each motor includes a DC spring-applied brake, available in various torque ratings for rapid or controlled stops. The integrated rectifier installs in the terminal box, simplifying wiring and maintenance, while fine-tuning options and manual release levers ensure easy serviceability. These motors support both fixed-speed and VFD-driven operation thanks to inverter-compatible windings, and the robust enclosures in aluminium or cast iron, offer IP55 protection and can be ordered with enhanced ratings. With frame sizes from 63 to 355, pole-speed options of 2, 4, 6, or 8, and a power span from 0.07 to 400 kW, they are ready to perform in start/stop cycles and positioning tasks across numerous industrial sectors.
