Carotron Updates - Your AC Motor Braking Solution

Published: Tue, 08/27/13

Safe and Rapid Braking for Your Industrial AC Motors
Dear ,
Does your facility need a long-term braking solution to rapidly and safely stop AC motors?  DC injection brakes work well in a variety of applications and feature options for adjustable braking with closed-loop current control.  

Unlike mechanical brakes, DC injection brakes do not wear because they are not exposed to friction during the braking process.  Therefore, high levels of torque can be delivered to stop the motor using controlled DC injection in two motor phases.  These can also be used for emergency braking, when the motor needs to be stopped immediately for any reason.

Carotron provides a safe, affordable braking solution by offering the SAF OP-Stop DCI brake module.  OP-STOP DCI is a full-featured braking unit for smooth AC motor braking.


Just a few benefits include:

  • Smooth braking using closed-loop control
  • Improved production (eliminates long waiting periods for rotors on AC motors to stop spinning)
  • No wear-and-tear worries (free of moving parts)
  • Easy installation and setup
  • Safety-focused
  • ...and more!
OP-STOP DCI brakes may be used in a variety of applications, such as shredders, conveyors, rock crushers, presses, fans, grinders, etc. 

OP-STOP DCI can be ordered as a stand-alone unit or may be integrated with the Opal Pro Starter Series models MS6 or MS6B.  If you need integration, call for pricing today.  Visit the following link to read more about this product:
