Do you have a magnetic brake that will fit my application?

Montalvo PB Brakes cover an effective torque range from <1 in-lb to 3,471 in-lb of torque. The PB Brake's compact size ensure that it will fit within the parameters of your application.

What size brake do I need?

All brake applications need to be reviewed by experienced Applications Engineers to make sure the proper brake is selected for your application. Montalvo offers the widest range of torque and heat dissipation of any brake line in the industry. Consult your Montalvo Applications Specialist to assist with proper sizing.

When the power is off does the brake remain on?

No. When the power is off, the brake spins freely. If you need an alternative function for e-stop functionality, you will need to consider a means of powering the brake during the e-stop.
