Stepper Motor Brake
A stepper motor brake, also known as a holding brake or electromechanical brake, is a device used to hold a stepper motor shaft in a fixed position when the motor is not actively rotating. It provides additional stability and prevents the motor from moving due to external forces or when power is removed.
The use of a stepper motor brake is particularly important in applications where the motor needs to maintain a specific position, even when power is removed or during power failures. It ensures that the motor does not rotate freely or lose its position due to inertia or external forces.
Stepper motor brakes find applications in various industries, including robotics, CNC machines, 3D printers, conveyor systems, and automation equipment. They provide an additional level of safety and precision, ensuring that the motor remains stationary when required.
