Very compact and modern in design. Foundation is not necessary as they are directly mounted on non-driving end shaft of the motor. It consist of Liner Plates (Brake Disc) with square hole ate the centre. One corresponding piece of square hub is supplied with the Brake. This hub is keyed to the motor shaft and the Liner Plate is free on this hub. Normally Liner Plate is gripped between two discs with the help of Spring Pressure. They work on 230 / 415 V.A.C. When the current is supplied to the brake one disc is attracted by electromagnet against spring pressure and Liner Plate is released. Thus the Brake is 'off'. Once the Brake is set it does not require adjustment or maintenance. When the liner plate wears with the use then only air gap is required to be maintained periodically. An arrangement to release the brake manually could be provided on request.
