WARNER ELECTRIC

Warner Electric C-face brakes are magnetic clutch/brake units that mount directly to NEMA C-face motors or reducers. They engage when power is applied and are used for stopping or holding. Spring-set holding brakes, such as the ERS series, use springs to engage the brake when power is removed, providing fail-safe holding. The ERS-68 model is designed for 215TC motor frames and operates at 24V DC. Both types are available from 3G Electric with mounting hardware and terminal kits where applicable.

The Warner Electric brakes supplied by 3G Electric are available in 24V DC and 90V DC configurations. For example, the 2DBN8 model operates at 24V DC with 95 ft-lb static torque, while the 2DBN1 model operates at 90V DC with 16 ft-lb static torque. Voltage selection depends on the available power supply and the required torque for the application. Both voltage options are common in industrial control systems.

Selection depends on motor frame size, required static torque, voltage, and shaft diameter. Warner Electric C-face brakes are designed to mount directly on NEMA C-face motors or between the motor and reducer. Check the motor frame designation (e.g., 215TC for the ERS-68) and the shaft diameter (5/8 in or 7/8 in for disc brakes). Torque ratings range from 16 ft-lb to 95 ft-lb. 3G Electric provides detailed specifications for each SKU to assist with matching the brake to your motor and application.

The vented enclosure on Warner Electric brakes allows heat generated during braking cycles to dissipate more effectively. This is particularly important in applications with frequent stopping or holding, where heat buildup can affect performance and service life. The vented design is standard on many C-face brake models, including the 2DBN series. It does not compromise the brake's mechanical integrity but requires consideration of the operating environment to prevent ingress of contaminants.

Yes, many Warner Electric brakes supplied by 3G Electric include mounting hardware. For example, the 2DBN8, 2DBN4, 2DBN1, 2DBN6, 2DBN7, 2DBN2, and 2DBN5 models include mounting hardware. The spring-set holding brake 305P81 includes a terminal accessory kit. These inclusions simplify installation and ensure that necessary components are available. Always verify the specific SKU's included items before ordering.

Warner Electric C-face brakes are used in industrial automation, conveyors, packaging machinery, and other equipment requiring controlled stopping or holding of motor-driven loads. The spring-set holding brake is often used where a load must be held stationary when power is removed, such as on inclined conveyors or lifting mechanisms. The magnetic clutch/brake models are suitable for start-stop cycling and tension control. 3G Electric supplies these brakes for global delivery to support maintenance and new installations.
