The ERS Series of electrically-released, spring-engaged brakes serve as pitch brakes for wind turbine applications that require both “static” holding power and the ability to withstand high inertia ...

A. With dynamic stopping the brake must absorb the kinetic energy built up by the inertial loads. In such instances the brake transfers that energy, causing heat buildup and wear on the surfaces of ...

Fast, powerful and controllable, servomotors are an essential part of many designs. But what happens when power to them shuts down? Without energy to control motor shaft position, systems tend to move ...
