INSTRUCTIONS

Electromagnetic Brake Motors

Single Phase 115V, 60Hz

4RK25GN-AM-115, 5RK40GN-AM-115

Single Phase 220/240V, 50Hz

4RK25GN-CME, 5RK40GN-CME

These Electromagnetic Brake Motors are reversible motors with a built-in de-energized electromagnetic brake [Fail-Safe Brake].

These motors are designed for 115V, 60Hz or 220/240V, 50Hz power sources.

Features

1. Employing a de-energized, electromagnetic brake, the brake is

activated upon power shut off.  The motor stops immediately and

holds the load firmly.

2. Sufficient holding torque is obtained regardless to the motor speed or

the power source frequency.

[Holding brake torque: 

4RK25

Type 13 oz-in(9.8N-cm), 

5RK40

Type 20 oz-in(14.7N-cm)]

3. The overrun at motor shaft is approximately 2

3 rotations. 

(With no-load and motor power shut off simultaneously.)

Connecting Diagrams

Protection of the relay contacts

The motor switch (SW2) and the electromagnetic brake switch (SW3) emit sparks

when turned on and off.  In order to protect the relay contacts.  

CR circuit (                ) must be connected.

Operations

Run/Stop

1. Motor will rotate when SW2 and SW3 are switched simultaneously to

RUN (short circuit) switching SW4 to OFF (open).

2. When SW2 and SW3 are switched simultaneously to STOP (open),

the motor stops immediately by electromagnetic brake and holds the

load.

3. To rotate the motor shaft by hand during the motor stops, switch

SW4 to ON (short circuit).  The electromagnetic brake is released

and the motor shaft can be rotate easily by hand.

(Always switch SW4 to OFF (open) when running and stopping the

motor.  SW4 is not necessary when such a operation is not needed.)

Direction of Rotation

To rotate the motor in a  clockwise (CW) direction, switch SW1 to CW.

To rotate it in a counter-clockwise (CCW) direction, switch SW1 to

CCW.

The diagram shows the direction of rotation of the motor shaft as

viewed from the motor shaft end.
