A Torque motor is an electric motor that features an integrated mechanical or electromagnetic braking system to provide fast, controlled, and safe stopping of the motor shaft.
Main Components
Electric Motor: Typically an AC induction or DC motor that provides rotational movement.
Brake Coil / Magnet: Energizes to release the brake using electromagnetic force.
Springs: Mechanically push and engage the brake automatically when power is removed.
Friction Disc / Brake Liner: Generates the stopping friction against the rotor or fan interface.
Rectifier Unit: Converts AC supply voltage to DC voltage required by the brake coil.
