Braking Guide for Sub-Micro Drives

Sub-micro drives can also be used with a mechanical brake in the configurations shown. Mechanical brakes are often used for holding the motor shaft once the load has stopped, or for emergency stopping of the load. The open-collector output on the SCD, SCF, and TCF Series drives can be used to trigger another relay that engages/releases the brake, while the relay output on the SCL/SCM Series drives may be able to energize/release the brake directly.
