Magnetic Particle Brake - Specifications & Dimensions

Torque range= 0-3.5 to 2500 Newton-cm.

View in inch units
Brake photo Typical applications:


  • Adjustable tension - for unwinding (payout) webs
  • Load simulation - for testing stepper motors, gear motors and mechanisms
  • Soft stops
The cross-section drawing shows how brakes work.
Models B5Z-1, B150-HA, B1-2


Torque Curve Torque is -
  • Proportional to input current
  • Independent of RPM

While the load torque is less than the output torque, the brake shaft won't rotate.
When the load torque is increased, the brake will slip smoothly at the torque level set by the input coil current.

Use the sizing information to select the proper brake.
