In what fields are stepper motors with brakes mainly used?

Stepper motors with brakes are also called brakes. Generally, the power supply of the stepper motor is not self-locking. To complete the locking of the power supply, a parallel circuit needs to be added to the end of the stepper motor brake.

Drive and brake in the upper right straight line 12 ~ 24 VDC, the stepper motor power and braking torque have the effect of fixed motor shaft, the stepper motor can still remain locked when handling power. 57, 86 and other series two-phase motor current braking devices also provide single emergency brakes, which are compact in structure and low in wear. They are equipped with an asbestos-free friction lining and are quickly supplied through a fixed adjustment air gap device. Brakes consisting of electromagnetic air gaps are suitable for use in all areas where it is necessary to slow down or restrict the movement of heavier objects in a short time to provide the generated braking torque (even when the power supply is interrupted).

Stepper motors with brakes are widely used in dispensing equipment, lifting equipment, semiconductor equipment, packaging machinery, textile machinery, CNC machine tools, bioanalytical instruments, various workstations, optical equipment, laser focusing equipment, automobile testing equipment and other fields.
