Description
INTORQ BFK458 / BFK458-L LongLife – SPRING-APPLIED ELECTROMAGNETIC BRAKES
INTORQ BFK458 and BFK458-L LongLife are spring-applied electromagnetic brakes designed for industrial applications where rapid stopping or holding a mechanism in position is required.
These brakes operate on a fail-safe principle, meaning the brake is mechanically engaged by springs when the power supply is interrupted, ensuring a high level of operational safety.
Thanks to their modular design, the INTORQ BFK458 series can be configured for a wide range of industrial applications and can be used as a holding brake, service brake, or safety brake.
The BFK458-L LongLife version is designed for extended service life and reduced wear, contributing to lower long-term operating costs.
