Importance of the Motor Brake
The motor brake, described on the
following pages, is a critical component of the
machine safety system. The brake is used
to rapidly decelerate and stop the motor and
rotating parts. Rotating parts include knife
spindles and knife wheels, gears, conveyor
rolls, and any other parts driven by the
motor. The brake is intended to reduce the
likelihood of an operator removing or opening
guards and exposing rotating parts. Contact
with rotating parts can cause serious injury
such as amputation. Maintaining the brake to
ensure the minimum stop time is essential for
safe machine operation. A brake that is not
properly maintained may allow an operator to
open guards while parts are still rotating.
