Safety brake with patented friction system
06 December 2023
KEB AUTOMATION is expanding its product portfolio with the new COMBISTOP S1 spring-applied brake. The holding brake has a new, patented friction system.

This results in significantly higher braking torque, which corresponds to the level of permanent magnet brakes. As well as delivering higher performance, the S1 brake also requires less installation space, making it the first choice for numerous applications.
In order to reliably hold loads at a standstill, high quality holding brakes are required to ensure maximum safety during operation with emergency stop functions. With this in mind, KEB Automation has developed the COMBISTOP S1. The strengths of this innovative spring-applied brake are particularly evident in servo applications, as the increased safety requirements here are ideally met by the new brake.
In addition to servo motors, the COMBISTOP S1 is also used in medical technology, robotics and automation, industrial trucks and AGVs, electromobility and intralogistics.
- Balancing act
