Multiple Disc Electromagnetic Brakes
Multiple disc brakes give very high stopping torque in a small space, running dry or in oil – a natural fit for multi-speed gearboxes and machine tools.

How it works
How It Works
Stopping
Power to the coil pulls the armature in, squeezing the inner and outer friction discs together and stopping the shaft. Slip happens only while slowing down.
Releasing
Switch off and springs move the armature away, leaving minimal drag.
Why multiple disc
Big Torque, Small Package
Compact
Several discs give one of the best torque-to-size ratios.
Wet or Dry
Run in a gearbox oil bath or stand-alone.
Fast in Oil
Channels in the discs let oil clear quickly for fast response.
Cool Running
In oil, the oil carries heat away from the discs.
