AMBITECH ELECTRIC MOTOR BRAKES

INNOVATION FOR YOUR WORKSHOP

What is an Electric Brake?

Electronic brakes are one of the wonders of the modern world. They can force high-inertia loads to a complete stop without using friction by using electromagnetic forces to adjust AC and direct currents freely. They allow for quick-stopping and starting, low maintenance, and better safety in loads of different applications. And you could get one for your everyday equipment in your workshop to make your life better on the day-to-day.

Why Do I Need an Electric Brake?

Quick Stopping, No-Maintenance Electronic Brakes Increase Productivity and Avoid Safety Hazards

Voltage control includes, 24VDC, 24VAC, 115VAC, 230VAC

Chipper-Stopper

The Chipper-Stopper motor brake is a low-cost alternative for high-inertia applications such as wood chippers, centrifuges, and hogs.

Specs:

Includes Short-Stop series control features
Includes rapid repair turnaround
Increases safety
Offers the user more control
Allows for proper load balancing
Used for high-inertia load applications
Perfect for wood-shippers and centrifuges

Fan-Stop

The Ambitech Fan-Stop is an electronic motor brake that permits rapid starting of AC motors by first eliminating an effect called “wind-milling” or coasting. The stopping action is done by DC injection braking, which creates a stationary magnetic field within the motor. Braking action is smooth, adjustable, and frictionless. The brake will be engaged briefly prior to starting the motor. The Fan-Stop motor brake is specially intended for applications such as fans where the motor may be wind-milling in reverse prior to the motor receiving a command to run. By braking the motor to a stop, mechanical stress on the power-train or motor is eliminated.

Braking cycle precedes normal start to eliminate starting or rollback in the opposite direction
Prevents damage to motor, gears, belts and bearings
Built-in braking torque adjustment and automatic time-out feature
Applications include ventilation systems, furnaces, cooling towers, heat exchangers, drying ovens, paint spray booths

Star-Brake

These are G series Short-Stop motor brakes which are modified to operate with an internal contactor, in applications where the machine does not have one. An adjustable thermal overload is also included.

Specs:

Appropriate for applications like woodworking, metalworking as well as lathers, saws, milling, grinders, sanders, planners, and moulders
VAC Motor Voltage ranges include 110-115VAC
Works with no-starter motors
Compatible with wye (3 wire) motor design
RPM range 0-3000+

Brake-Pak

Brake-Pak is an electronic motor brake that permits rapid stopping of single-phase AC motors by DC injection braking, which creates a stationary magnetic field within the motor. Braking action is smooth, adjustable, and frictionless; it begins automatically when the motor is turned off. The Brake-Pak electric motor brake is available in either an enclosed or modular form for added versatility.

Specs:

Perfect for frequent starts and stops
Adjustable torque and brake times
Automatic braking for single phrase
Available in multiple applications with optional line cords, plugs, and more
Repair is always available
Maintenance is inexpensive
Prevents motor restarts after 7 seconds of being off

Braketron

The Braketron is our most customizable electronic brake yet. You’ll be able to toggle between on and off with more precision than ever before on almost any application you can think of. The Braketron model can be fitted to accommodate a variety of different types of motors including: gearbox, direct drive, belt, and clutch. The Braketron can also be fitted to adjust to whatever type of equipment you’re running including blade/lather direct drives, shakers, wheels, and grinder/buggers.

Appropriate for applications like woodworking, metalworking as well as lathers, saws, millers, grinders, sanders, planners, and moulders
VAC Motor Voltage ranges include 110-115VAC, 230/240, 460/480, 575VAC
Works with Start contractor motors
Compatible with wye (3 wire) motor design
RPM range 0-5000+
