What is an FZB bistable brake?

A bistable brake is specially designed for devices where the primary objective is energy saving. Its activation occurs after a small pulse of only 100 milliseconds of duration that, consequently, produces a change of state (goes from positive to negative).  When activated, it does not need any power to keep the device braking. Power only should be re-applied if you want to de-brake.

This makes it an ideal brake for devices that require low-power consumption and lower heat dissipation.

The most common applications are spaces where electricity is very appreciated, such as the Aeronautics Sector, Electric Vehicles or energy saving devices.
