ERD & ERDD Series Brakes

Designed to safely keep a load in position in the event of a power or motor failure, whether intentional or accidental

The ERD & ERDD series of electrically released, dynamic, spring-set brakes offers a high-performance, cost-effective solution for power-off load holding applications. ERD brakes are often utilized to dynamically stop a load when either accidental or intentional loss of electrical power occurs. Pair with an optional manual release to allow the operator to safely move the load even when no power is available. These electromagnetic brakes may be used in any dry environment where a dependable heavy duty braking action is required, with no residual torque in the disengaged position. Although typically mounted horizontally, these versatile brakes – available in 8 sizes ranging from 3.3 inches to 9.9 inches in diameter with torque capacities from 4 to 220 lb.ft. – can also be mounted vertically. Comes with a factory set Air Gap that is set with provisions for wear adjustment after dynamic use.
