Safe and reliable robot brakes

Robot arms must not drop or fall uncontrollably after the power is switched off, in the event of a power failure or emergency stop. Brakes hold the servo axes securely in position. There is now a new modular system for servo brakes from mayr power transmission.

With the 'ROBA-servostop' series, mayr power transmission has developed spring-applied brakes for servomotors that are specially adapted to the high requirements of robotics. The new standard construction kit now also includes hollow shaft versions. The company also provides access to the data required for design and selection, such as the definition of braking torques, switching times, mass inertias, friction work during emergency stops, the number of permissible emergency stops under different application conditions and information on the geometric connection.

In lightweight robots, a hollow shaft design is usually used for cable feed-through in the interior. Due to its design, the 'ROBA-servostop Cobot' series can be integrated into these constructions.

The 'ROBA-linearstop' electromagnetic linear brake is a fail-safe system with high holding forces that can brake dynamically and offers short switching times. The electrically opening linear brakes are also safety brakes. The brakes operate according to the fail-safe principle, generate the braking force using compression springs and are closed when de-energized. The series of electromagnetic 'ROBA-linearstop' brakes comprises six sizes with forces from 70 to 17,000 N.
