Introduction to servo gear motors with spring-applied safety brakes
Ein Servo gear motor with spring-applied safety brake is a highly advanced unit. It combines a servo motor, a precision gearbox, and a fail-safe, spring-applied brake. This careful combination enables dynamic movements, for instance, accelerations over 50 m/s², and reliably holds positions even during a power failure. This is particularly important in robotics or in demanding packaging technology, where a servo gear motor with a spring-applied safety brake showcases its strengths.
Such drive units, often designed as a servo gear motor with a spring-applied safety brake, are specifically used when machines require maximum precision and a reliable stopping mechanism. The interaction of the components is crucial for the overall function. The importance of this integration for enhancing overall performance is sometimes underestimated as it goes beyond merely fulfilling individual functions. For example, in vertical axes, it guarantees the safe holding of loads up to 500 kg.

Spring-applied safety brakes, an integral component in a Servo gear motor with spring-applied safety brake, ensure high operational safety through a proven and simple principle: In the absence of power, the spring mechanically closes the brake. A coil requires electrical energy to open the brake. In case of a power failure, the spring force acts immediately, and the brake engages reliably in less than 20 ms. Efficient disc brakes.
- Proven principle: In the absence of power, the spring mechanically closes the brake; a coil opens it electrically.
- Fast response: In the event of a power failure, the brake engages reliably in less than 20 ms due to spring force.
- Increased safety: Reliable stopping and securing of the machine, especially in case of power loss.
- Precise holding: Enables exact positioning, e.g., in vertical axes with over 100 kg of workpiece weight.
- Long service life: Designed for over 1 million switching cycles, which indicates high robustness.
- Versatile applications: Typical areas of use include vertical axes, robotics, stage technology, and hoisting equipment.
The advantages of this brake technology, especially when used in a servo gear motor with spring-applied safety brake, are manifold. One significant advantage is the increased safety, as the brake reliably stops and secures the machine during a power failure. This enables precise positioning and holding, which is essential for vertical axes with over 100 kg of workpiece weight. Additionally, these brakes are extremely robust and designed for over 1 million switching cycles. Hydraulic spring brakes. Typical areas of use include:
- Vertical axes in machine tools.
- Robotics for holding arms.
- Stage technology for trusses.
- Elevators and hoisting equipment.
Integration of gearbox and servo motor
The choice of gearbox significantly influences the performance of a servo gear motor with spring-applied safety brake . Various types of gearboxes are used. Planetary gearboxes offer high torque density and precision under 1 arcmin backlash. Spur gearboxes are often efficient. Worm gearboxes are suitable for self-locking or quiet operation. Bevel gearboxes are used for angular applications. Planetary reducers in detail.
When selecting the gearbox for a servo gear motor with a spring-applied safety brake, critical factors must be considered. The torque requirements, which often range between 10 Nm and over 1000 Nm, are a central aspect. The gear ratio adjusts speed and torque. Accuracy is another important component, the significance of which should not be underestimated; here, zero-play gearboxes are often crucial. Modern servo motor controllers precisely regulate position, speed, and torque. Gear motors for CNC machinesCheck fieldbus integration.ATEK Drive Solutions: System provider for drive solutions
