More about what it means for servo brakes to have functional-safety certification

December 18, 2020 By Lisa Eitel Leave a Comment

In the article What are functional safety standards for servo drives? we review how functional safety is quantified. Now consider one example of a spring-set pneumatically released friction servomotor brake now having a third-party safety rating (from Intertek Group) certifying compliance with international safety standard ISO 13849-1. Intertek is an international London-headquartered inspection, assurance, product […]

New zero-backlash, spring-engaged brake family

March 6, 2018 By Paul Heney Leave a Comment

Nexen Group Inc. has announced the Zero-Backlash Spring Engaged (ZSE) brake family. The pneumatically-released ZSE offers high torque, high speed, and zero backlash ideal for holding applications. Unlike brakes using leaf springs to transmit torque, the ZSE is zero-backlash up to 100% of its rated holding torque. Nexen has released four different sizes (450, 600, […]
