DC Injection Brake Safely Stops Motors

The DYNA-STOP II electronic dc injection brake sense the rotation of an ac induction motor and applies current until the motor stops completely, regardless of load. The device is claimed to improve operator safety by eliminating spin-down and permits faster tool changes to reduce production cycle times. Features include a zero-speed circuit to ensure that the braking current is removed from the motor when it's stopped. Pricing is $495.
