Dodge D-Series Motor Brakes
Baldor Dodge D-Series Motor Brakes

D-Series Motor Brakes are designed with a single* non-asbestos friction disc for fewer adjustments, reduced replacement parts, and extended life. They are released when power is applied to the brake coil. The friction disc hub assembly and ultimately the load are free to turn. However, when power is taken away, intentionally or accidentally, an internal wave spring clamps the friction disc to stop and hold the load. The single* disc design has significantly fewer parts than competitive brakes and provides a dramatic improvement in brake friction disc life. Just as dramatic is the quiet operation compared to solenoid type brakes. Baldor Dodge D-Series motor brakes are available as stock off-the-shelf units in 2 configurations. DBSC C-Face brakes mount on the fan end (non-driving end) of a motor. DBSS double C-Face brakes are generally used as a coupler between standard C-Face motors and C-Face gear reducers.
