The Spring Engaged Tooth Brake was designed for medical applications. The SETB has large bore sizes, low backlash, high torque-to-size ratio, a high number of index positions, positive engagement, and a reliable coil with custom voltages. It delivers reliable and consistent operation in fields such as robotics, scanning equipment, and treatment tables.
Highlights of the SETB include:
- Less than 0.5° of backlash within the brake once properly installed
- A high number of index positions
- High temperature Class H insulation fully potted coil rated for 180°C
- Typically a 2:1 reduction in size when compared to a friction style brake with similar torque ratings
- Lead wires can also be routed through the bore or the rear of the magnet body
