Product Description:

06.P1.100-024F is an electromagnetic brake manufactured by KEB and assigned to the P1 Encoders and Brakes series. The unit couples with servo or induction motor shafts in automated lines, clamping the rotor when coil power is removed so motion halts in a controlled manner. By supplying braking torque independent of drive electronics, the component protects machinery during emergency stops and holds position for indexing, pick-and-place, or vertical-axis applications. Its spring-applied operating principle also allows the brake to remain effective during a power loss, which is useful where the load must not drift after the motor is disabled.

The brake coil is energized from a nominal 24 VDC supply, drawing enough current to release the friction lining while staying within low-voltage control limits. When de-energized, it develops a rated braking torque of 12 Nm, suitable for mid-frame motors that require reliable holding force. Thermal losses under continuous duty add up to only 18 W, helping enclosure temperatures stay below component limits. Mechanical integration is simplified by a round flange pattern with an outer circle of 80 mm, which matches common IEC motor face dimensions. An IP20 protection grade is provided, so the housing blocks finger access but should be mounted inside an enclosure where dust and fluids are controlled. This arrangement suits enclosed machine sections where the brake is protected from direct contact and contamination during normal operation.

The brake is rated for a 100% duty cycle, so it may remain continuously powered without required cool-down periods, provided operation stays below the winding limit of 120°C. Air-gap settings influence torque consistency; the nominal clearance between the armature and magnet is 0.3 mm, and adjustment is permitted up to 0.65 mm before braking performance begins to decline. Alignment tolerances support straightforward assembly, with magnet-to-armature offset limited to 0.2 mm, shaft-to-magnet offset limited to 0.08 mm, and surface runout limited to 0.05 mm. At elevated temperature, the brake still provides a minimum static torque of 8 Nm, supporting load retention even when the assembly is hot. These limits help maintain predictable engagement behavior and reduce the risk of uneven wear across the friction surfaces.
