Brake Torque Selection
Each NORD motor size has a number of brake torque
sizes available. The bold value in the table below is
the standard brake torque size for each motor.
Example for ordering: SK 32 - 80S/4 BRE 10
(BRE 10 indicates the unit has a brake torque size of 10 Nm)
CAUTIONS
BRE800 and BRE1200 brakes may only be controlled with a
fast reaction rectifi er (overexcitation), the maximimum per-
missible nominal currents of the rectifi er must be considered!

* IP66 – IP66 brake not possible.
1) Brake release lever “HL” and “FHL” not possible.
2) When used as a stopping brake, evaluation of brake work is essential.
3) Designed as holding brake or emergency stop brake only.

General Selection Considerations
NORD relies on the equipment builder to specify ap-
propriate brake sizing for their application, while
giving consideration to the following:
• For most applications, we advise sizing the brake to
1.5 - 2 times the motor rated torque.
• For vertical applications, it may be advisable to size
the brake size up to 3 times the motor rated torque.
• For some applications, it may be necessary to specify
a reduced brake torque setting to prevent, excessive
peak load conditions developed at the reducer output.
• On travel drive applications, excessive brake torque
may lead to wheel skid, & excess hoist-cable swing.
