The automotive industry continues to be a hotbed of innovation, with activity driven by road safety, autonomous braking systems and advancement in sensors, and growing importance of technologies such ...

Motors should not coast more than a few shaft revolutions after being deenergized. Critical applications use electromechanical clutch and brake devices to stop loads when motor power is removed.

Manufactured with the company’s Anotherm substrate technology, the WDBR Series thick-film planar dynamic braking resistor offers designers of motion-control systems a low-inductance replacement for ...

In the world of motion control and power transmission, control is the key design objective. Put simply, stopping a load in a predictable and controlled manner is at least as important as the motion ...

Hydraulic retarders play a critical role in modern vehicle braking systems by converting kinetic energy into thermal energy through the fluid dynamic interactions within the retarder system. Their ...

As aircraft braking systems become more sophisticated, so do the problems with which their control algorithms must contend. One such problem is landing gear dynamic instability, which can be induced ...

Beaumont, TX--A designer and builder of robotic gantry systems, C&D Robotics Inc. once used only electric brakes, but they failed to meet emergency-stop and dynamic-braking requirements. So the ...
