Stepper Motor with Brake
A stepper motor with brake combines the functionality of a stepper motor and a holding brake in a single unit. This type of stepper motor is designed to provide precise positioning and holding capabilities without the need for an external brake mechanism. Stepper motors with brakes are commonly used in applications where holding torque is crucial, such as robotics, CNC machines, and industrial automation. They are particularly useful in situations where power loss or motor de-energization could result in undesired movement or loss of position. When selecting a stepper motor with electromagnetic brake, it is important to consider factors such as the holding torque of the brake, the stepper motor's step angle and torque specifications, and the compatibility of the motor with your specific application requirements. Generally speaking, the stepper motors with brake can provide a compact and integrated solution for precise positioning and holding tasks, eliminating the need for separate brake mechanisms and simplifying the overall system design.
