Rex Engineering: Although you will never have a need to disassemble the brake mechanism, it is easier to see

how it works if we break it down into the individual components.

This is all (4) of the brake components removed This is the two slot gear mounted to the
form the gearmotor motor armature. It is attached by an
assembly that allows it to act as a clutch. It
will allow the gear to slip to relive any stress
that would be cause by a sudden stop

Shaded poles

With the brake components
removed, we can see the lower
ball bearing and the two shaded
poles

The motor armature with the
two slot gear has been added
No Gap
The short locking arm and
spring has been installed. Notice
that the spring pulls the arm
towards the center and into a slot

The brake armature has
been added. Observe the
armature resting against the
locking arm and the gap of
the armature to the motor
frame when the motor is
de-energized
The brake armature has been
added. Observe the armature
resting against the motor frame
and the lack of a gap of the
armature to the motor frame
when the motor is energized
The upper bearing assembly is
now installed and the brake is
completely assembled on the
motor.
The gearmotor is ready to
