The SEW Eurodrive BE11BN brake is a critical component for motor control systems, specifically designed for applications requiring reliable stopping power. This electromagnetic brake, identified by part number 17601878, is engineered to integrate seamlessly with SEW Eurodrive motor and gearmotor assemblies, ensuring precise operational control in demanding industrial environments. Its robust construction and specific design parameters make it suitable for a range of automated machinery.

Technical details

• Brake Series: BE11BN
• Torque Rating: 55 Nm
• Voltage Rating: 500 VAC
• Brake Type: Electromagnetic
• Actuation: Spring-applied, electrically released
• Enclosure Type: Typically designed for direct mounting to SEW Eurodrive motor flanges. Specific IP rating should be verified against manufacturer datasheet.
• Operating Principle: When voltage is applied, an electromagnet overcomes spring force, releasing the brake. Loss of power engages the springs, applying braking torque.
• Duty Cycle: Suitable for frequent stop/start applications, dependent on thermal dissipation and application specifics.
