Warner Electric Launches UNIBRAKE® AC Motor Brakes

April 22, 2008 — South Beloit, IL — Warner Electric, an Altra Industrial Motion company, announces new UNIBRAKE® AC Motor Brakes. These spring-applied motor brakes feature a simple design with fewer moving parts to reduce downtime for stop/hold applications found in material handling, food processing, and baggage handling equipment.

  • An external manual release lever allows the driven load to be moved without energizing the motor. The lever resets automatically when the brake is re-energized. Enclosed construction protects internal components from dust and grit.

  • Splined hubs and friction discs efficiently transmit torque, which is adjustable from full torque rating to 50 percent.
    Single-phase AC coils offer fast engagement and release times and easy wiring.

  • Warner Electric UNIBRAKE AC Motor Brakes are available in two styles: Single C-Face and Double C-Face. Single C-Face UNIBRAKES, designed for motors that are modified to accept a brake, mount to the motor’s non-driven end. Double C-Face UNIBRAKES perform a coupling function between standard C-Face motors and C-Face gear reducers.

  • Single C-Face UNIBRAKES are available from 3 ft.lb. to 15 ft.lb. Double C-Face UNIBRAKES are available from 3 ft.lb. to 10 ft.lb. Coil voltage ranges from 115/230, 60 HZ to 230/460, 50HZ. Both styles are interchangeable with standard motor brakes.

    Complete product information is available at Warner Electric’s new UNIBRAKE website (www.WarnerElectricACMotorBrake.com ), including product literature and a link to the Warner Electric eCatalog.
