MOTION CONTROL: Nexen introduces a complete line of servomotor brakes designed to mount to servomotors up to 20 horsepower. The Eclipse Servomotor Brake family is comprised of spring-engaged servomotor brakes equipped with a split hub, zero backlash clamp collar for attachment to the servomotor shaft. With superior torque outputs, these brakes provide rugged durability for dynamic stopping applications. Eclipse brakes offer consistent long-lasting performance with no maintenance needed. Eclipse brakes deliver at least 20-50 percent more torque than competitive brakes while providing a safe and simple operation.
The easy-to-use, flange-mounted Eclipse Servomotor Brakes solve many of the problems associated with brake motors. The brakes can be used with standard servomotors for easy integrated brake motor modular functionality. Eclipse brakes come in a variety of input and output flange/shaft combinations, all designed to increase machine safety.
Eclipse Servomotor Brakes are specifically engineered to provide an ideal solution for the following applications:
Provides reliable performance for intermittent dynamic stopping
Features brakes for holding and E-stop applications
Offers high-speed capability-engineered and balanced for servo applications
Features of Eclipse Servomotor Brakes that make them particularly effective and convenient to use include:
High torque from 2 to 125 Nm to sufficiently stall the servomotor; 50 percent more torque than competitive models
Zero backlash for accurate holding
Low inertia
High tensional rigidity; no system wind-up
Integral flanges adapt to any servomotor and mounting style
NEMA 23, 34 and 42 frame sizes
Numerous Eclipse Servomotor Brake models and options are available to allow optimal flexibility and use, including:
Seven size models SBP- 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 9 and 11 with split-hub/shaft collar shaft mounting
Square flanges range in size from 57 to 265 mm (2.25 to 10.4 in.)
Brake torque is four times internal servo motor brakes at 2.3 to 125 Nm (20 to 1100 inch- lb)
New disc magnet motors fit into the design trend of stepping up to closed loop performance while maintaining the cost advantage of stepper motor technology.
At the Design News webinar on June 27, learn all about aluminum extrusion: designing the right shape so it costs the least, is simplest to manufacture, and best fits the application's structural requirements.
A new battery design, which replaces lithium with abundant and low-cost elemental sulfur, is still in its nascent stages but shows real promise for giving batteries more energy potential.
The push to achieving more intelligent, integrated manufacturing is putting a strong focus on networking and connectivity as key enabling technologies.

For industrial control applications, or even a simple assembly line, that machine can go almost 24/7 without a break. But what happens when the task is a little more complex? That’s where the “smart” machine would come in. The smart machine is one that has some simple (or complex in some cases) processing capability to be able to adapt to changing conditions. Such machines are suited for a host of applications, including automotive, aerospace, defense, medical, computers and electronics, telecommunications, consumer goods, and so on. This radio show will show what’s possible with smart machines, and what tradeoffs need to be made to implement such a solution.
