Everything you need to know about brake motors – from applications to selection
What advantages does an integrated electric motor with brake from ATEK offer?
An integrated electric motor with brake from ATEK optimally combines motor and brake. This saves valuable installation space, reduces assembly effort – often by up to 15% – and ensures a harmonized system performance , as all components come from a single source and are perfectly coordinated.
Which brake type is suitable for safety-critical applications?
For safety-critical applications, spring pressure brakes are ideal. These brakes are active in a power-off state (Fail-Safe principle), meaning they securely hold the load in case of power failure or emergency stop. ATEK integrates such reliable brakes into its drive solutions.
How do I determine the correct braking torque for my electric motor with brake?
The required braking torque depends on the mass to be moved, the desired deceleration time, and friction losses. For dynamic applications, a braking torque of 150% of the motor’s rated torque is often used as a guideline. For precise design, you are supported by the technical consulting from ATEK.
Can ATEK supply customized electric motors with brake?
Yes, ATEK specializes in customized drive solutions. In addition to a wide standard program, our engineers develop tailored electric motors with brake that are precisely adapted to your specific requirements – even for small series and demanding industries such as medical technology.
Why is the IP protection class important for electric motors with brakes?
The IP protection class (e.g. IP55, IP66) defines the degree of protection of the motor and the brake against the ingress of foreign objects (dust) and water. Choosing the correct IP protection class is crucial for the reliability and lifespan of the drive under the specific environmental conditions of your application.
How does ATEK achieve fast delivery times for brake motors despite a high variety of options?
ATEK uses a modular system with a large inventory of nearly 500,000 individual parts. This enables millions of configurations and thus short delivery times, even for specifically configured electric motors with brake. A modern digital infrastructure supports this process.
What future trends are there for electric motors with brakes?
Important trends include a higher energy efficiency (e.g. IE4 motors, recuperation), smarter braking systems with sensors and interfaces (e.g. for predictive maintenance that can reduce downtime by up to 25%) as well as ongoing miniaturization with increasing power density.
Is motor braking sufficient or is a mechanical brake necessary?
Motor braking (recuperation or resistive braking) can recover energy and decelerate without wear. However, it is often not sufficient for a complete stop or safely holding a position, especially with a load. Therefore, an electric motor with an additional mechanical brake (e.g. spring pressure brake) is often the safer and more precise solution for many applications.

Laying the foundations: Understanding integrated brake motors and identifying potentials.
For precise, safe motion control, a electric motor with brake is an effective solution. The article explains essential aspects and how ATEK designs suitable system solutions for such brake drives.
Ein electric motor with brake integrates motor and brake effectively. For example, ATEK Drive Solutions combines experience in braking with motor technology to create a powerful motor brake unit. This integration saves installation space and often reduces assembly times by 15%.
In application fields where precision and safety are required, such as mechanical engineering as well as conveyor and packaging technology, these drives with brakes are particularly relevant. For example, in robotics, brake motors secure exact positions. ATEK acts as a system provider for tailored solutions – from standard to customized – for these industries. Information about Industrial brakes in detail or Gear motor solutions is available.Decoding brake technologies: Selecting functionalities and suitable types.
Motors can be held by various braking mechanisms, usually electromagnetic or spring pressure brakes. These are often an integral part of a electric motor with brake. Spring pressure brakes ensure safety in a power-off state. For example, in case of a power failure, an Intorq spring pressure brake reliably holds a load. This fail-safe property is essential for safety-critical applications, which is clarified by the spring-actuated safety brake .
Motors can also decelerate motorically, without a mechanical brake. The motor acts as a generator, energy is recuperated or converted into heat. For example, frequency converters use recuperation to enhance efficiency. Motor braking alone is often not sufficient for complete stop, which is why an electric motor with brake is often the preferred solution. The electric brake offers various technologies.Optimizing selection: Mastering technical criteria for brake motors.
The selection of the electric motor with brake is based on power (kW), speed (rpm), and braking torque (Nm). The braking torque must stop and securely hold the load. For example, in dynamic applications, it is often 150% of the motor’s rated torque. Precise design optimizes costs. For specific requirements, the ATB brake motor is available.
- Technical basic criteria for selection: Power (kW), speed (rpm), and braking torque (Nm) for the electric motor with brake.
- Central requirement: The braking torque must reliably stop and hold the load securely.
- Design in dynamic applications: Braking torque often 150% of the motor’s rated torque.
- Economics: Precise design of the brake motor optimizes costs.
