FAQ - frequently asked questions

The right industrial brakes come from an experienced, reliable manufacturer with extensive practical expertise. This is the only way to guarantee the necessary safety for the wide variety of applications. To be the right choice, it’s also important that the supplier not only has extensive practical experience but also offers a broad product portfolio. This allows them to provide solutions tailored to the specific application. Having reliable service and experienced, well-trained staff is also essential. Tools such as a product configurator, selection aids, or validation support are also a sign of professional and competent service.

The requirements of individual industry sectors can vary significantly. To meet these demands as effectively as possible, mayr ® power transmission has developed a wide range of industrial brakes with application-optimized designs. This includes traditionally designed, universally applicable spring-applied brakes. The portfolio also features plug-and-play brake modules for standard servo motors, innovative hollow-shaft brakes for cobots, linear brakes for piston rods and profiled rails, and designs with integrated pinion shafts for attaching toothed racks, as well as numerous other variants. If required, we’re happy to work with users to develop custom designs tailored to their specific applications.

mayr® brakes are used around the world in more than 60 industry sectors. Industrial brakes are used, for example, in robotics and automation, mechanical engineering, material handling, medical technology, elevator technology, wind power, and many other industry sectors.

mayr ® power transmission offers a comprehensive portfolio of monitoring and power supply modules for its industrial brakes. From half-wave, bridge, and fast acting rectifiers to control modules and smart monitoring modules for IoT applications, all our monitoring and auxiliary modules are perfectly matched to our safety brakes and work reliably with our industrial brakes.

mayr® industrial brakes comply with common international standards and regulations. The specific standards depend on the respective application. Most of the electromagnetic industrial brakes from mayr® are CSA certified and UL compliant.

Industrial brakes are classified as safety brakes. At mayr®, we equate the term safety brakes with the fail-safe principle: our spring-applied safety brakes are closed in their de-energized state. If the power is turned off or unexpectedly fails, our brakes close by means of spring force, which ensures reliable and safe braking of machines and systems in any position.

We make no compromises where safety is concerned. Therefore, all our safety brakes also exhibit the following traits:

Short switching and braking times

Safety-oriented dimensioning

Reliable spring force

Application of basic and established safety principles

100% end-of-line brake inspection

Reliability thanks to many years of field experience
