Frequently Asked Questions
What is a brake motor used for?+
A brake motor is an electric motor with a built-in braking mechanism that stops the motor shaft instantly when power is cut. They are essential for cranes, hoists, lifts, elevators, rolling shutters, and packaging machinery where precise stopping and safety are critical.
What is the braking torque range of Sun Star brake motors?+
Sun Star brake motors offer braking torque up to 200 Nm, with adjustable settings for fine-tuned control. They are available from 0.5 HP to 20 HP with AC fail-safe braking systems.
What is the difference between AC brake and DC brake motors?+
AC brake motors use an AC-powered electromagnet that engages when power is cut (fail-safe design). DC brake motors use a DC coil that can be energized separately for more precise control. Sun Star brake motors use the AC fail-safe system for maximum safety.
Can I use a brake motor for a rolling shutter?+
Yes, brake motors are commonly used for rolling shutters, automatic gates, and industrial doors. The fail-safe braking ensures the door holds its position even during power failures. Our brake motors from 0.5 HP to 5 HP are ideal for these applications.
Do Sun Star brake motors have a manual release lever?+
Yes, manual release levers are available as an option on all Sun Star brake motors. This allows manual operation during emergencies or power outages, which is especially important in lift and elevator applications.
