Product Description:

The 06.P1.100-0097 is an electromagnetic brake module produced by KEB and assigned to the P1 Encoders and Brakes series. Within an automation cell, this component is installed on a motor shaft to create a controlled magnetic field that couples the rotating armature to a stationary magnet carrier, thereby holding position when power is applied and releasing once the field collapses. It uses the mechanical interface and dimensional clearances used in the P1 family, so it fits the intended housing and coupling layout.

Mechanical alignment of the brake is governed by specific clearance limits. The working air gap between the magnet and armature must be maintained at 0.3 mm; exceeding this value increases release time and reduces magnetic force. Wear or installation tolerances may enlarge the gap, but it must never exceed the maximum permissible 0.65 mm. Radial movement is also restricted: the magnet carrier may deviate from the armature plane by only 0.2 mm, while shaft concentricity relative to the magnet is limited to 0.08 mm. Keeping these offsets within the allowed range minimizes uneven torque distribution and helps prevent frictional heating. For protection, the assembly carries an IP20 rating, which indicates finger-safe construction without sealing against water and suits enclosed or dry machine compartments.

The coil circuit of the P1 brake is energized with a nominal supply of 24 VDC. Continuous operation is supported because the winding is rated for a duty cycle of 100%, so the brake can remain powered without thermal cycling. The electronics tolerate short-term supply excursions; overvoltage may rise up to +6% above nominal and undervoltage may drop to -10% before magnetic force declines outside the intended operating range. These margins help stabilize retention force when the brake is driven by shared low-voltage power buses that experience switching spikes or voltage sag during high inrush events.
