Type S Brakes from Eaton’s Electrical Sector are electrically released and spring applied providing “fail-safe” operation. The retarding torque developed is directly proportional to the spring pressure.

Features
The brake wheel is of relatively large size in relation to the torque developed by the brake. This permits use of a larger brake shoe lining and lower shoe pressures. Low shoe pressure, equally distributed over a large lining area, results in even wear of the friction surfaces and even braking torque. The oversize wheel type construction also permits use of a smaller operating solenoid that requires less current for a given torque rating.
DC Brakes
Standard DC brakes are equipped with shunt coils. The magnet coil circuit on DC brakes consists of two separate windings and a protective switch.
Mounting
Type S brakes are designed and recommended for use and mounting only in the horizontal position. Side or vertical mountings are not recommended because the solenoid loading is altered, resulting in accelerated wear and premature coil failure.

Notes:
(1) Intermittent duty indicates that the coil can be placed across the line continuously for one hour maximum without excessive heating. It is equivalent to 1/2 time ON and 1/2 time OFF.
(2) Add suffix number for coil voltage to base catalog number.
(3) Does not include wheel.
Brake Selection
The method most generally used to determine required
braking torque is to calculate the full load motor torque by
the following formula:
T = 5252 x hp
rpm
T = Full load motor torque in lb-ft
hp = Motor horsepower
rpm = Speed of shaft on which brake wheel is mounted
The torque rating of the brake selected should be at least equal
to the full load motor torque for the duty considered.

Notes:
(1) Bore tolerance: +0.000–0.001 in.
(2) Taper is at rate of 1.25 in per ft on diameter. In bore size selection, use diameter of tapered shaft. Bore tolerance: +0.000–0.005 in.
