looking for a very small failsafe brake

looking for a very small failsafe brake

(OP)
Does anyone out there know of any "subminiature" spring-applied or permanent-magnet failsafe brakes?

I'm looking for something to hold only about 0.04Nm (about 5.7 in-oz), and under 20-25mm diameter.

Anyone seen anything that small out there?

Thanks,

Bruce

Thanks Clyde38 - just by chance a colleague suggested Island to me today as well. I've contacted them via their website just now. Do you happen to know how small they go?

Thanks!

RE: looking for a very small failsafe brake

Sorry, I'm not sure.  You may also try Danaher Motion, they purchased API some time ago and also Thomson.  They have product as small as 1 inch.  The website is a little lacking http://www.danahermotion.com/ so you may need to contact them for info.

Please avoid multiple posting.

What is the speed and the expected life time ?
How many per year ?
