Brake motors are typically installed on escalators and inclined moving walkways with a lift height exceeding 6m, or on public transport escalators and inclined moving walkways, or on dedicated supplies for ordinary escalators and inclined moving walkways as stipulated in the contract.

Brake motors are usually implemented in a timely manner before the vehicle speed exceeds 1.4 times the rated speed, after non-operational reversal, or in case of a broken drive chain, to drive the tread (treads) or chain and sprocket. Mechanical friction brakes. Utilizing the inertia of the load to force the escalator (moving walkway) to decelerate and stop, remaining stationary, while simultaneously or beforehand disconnecting the safety circuit. Brake motors have block, disc, claw, pad, and tooth structures, among others. Their commonality is stopping the chain wheel (tread) of the tread.
It is well known that the electromagnetic braking system is the lifeline of safe vehicle operation. With the upgrading and iteration of automobiles, people's demands for the safety, comfort, and economy of automobiles are becoming increasingly higher. The braking device that protects the safe operation of automobiles has gradually evolved from the initial simple mechanical braking to the current ABS (Anti-lock braking system). However, ABS still has some problems, such as the difficulty in accurately measuring the speed of the vehicle body and wheels, and the difficulty in accurately controlling the braking force. These shortcomings mean that automobiles equipped with ABS can accurately meet braking requirements under ideal road conditions, but they are difficult to meet requirements on muddy mountain roads with poor road conditions. At this time, another auxiliary braking system is urgently needed to ensure the safe operation of the vehicle. Electromagnetic braking technology, with its characteristics of no wear, fast response, stable braking, and good compatibility with the ABS system, has quickly established its position in automotive auxiliary braking systems.
Brake motor suppliers recommend that when the elevator power supply or control circuit power supply is cut off for any reason, sufficient braking torque should be generated to ensure the reliable stopping of the car. Therefore, braking torque is its main parameter. Of course, it is mainly used to ensure that the running elevator stops according to the standard deceleration requirements. If it is in use, the main power switch should be turned off during the inspection process. Check whether there are any phenomena such as braking, deformation, or damage when the vehicle is running upwards at normal operating speed to the upper part of the stroke in an unloaded state. The supplier reminds everyone to carry 125% of the rated load and descend at normal operating speed. When the car runs to the lower stop station, cut off the power supply of the motor and brake, and the car should stop reliably without obvious deformation or damage. A general acceleration and deceleration tester is used for on-site testing and recording of numerical values, and the instrument can display the average deceleration. The supplier's products have a compact structure and excellent design.
