The Short-StopTM Type A electronic motor brake permits rapid stopping of
AC motors by DC injection,which creates a stationary magnetic field within the
motor. Braking action is smooth, adjustable,and frictionless, and begins
automatically when the motor is turned off.

The Short-StopTM Type G electronic motor brake permits rapid stopping of
AC motors by DC injection, creating a stationary magnetic field within the
motor. Braking action is smooth, adjustable and frictionless. Torque and time
adjustments permit matching the braking rate to almost any machine requirement.
The installation of standard units simply involve connection of six wires to the
machine motor starter. The Short-StopTM G has no
effect on normal machine performance, operation or motor life.

The Short-StopTM Type D electronic motor brake permits rapid stopping of
AC motors by DC injection, which creates a stationary magnetic field within the
motor. Braking action is smooth, adjustable, and frictionless, and begins
automatically when the motor is turned off.

The Chipper-StopperTM is an electronic motor brake that permits rapid stopping
of AC motors by DC injection, creating a stationary magnetic field within the
motor. Braking action is smooth, adjustable and frictionless, beginning
automatically when the motor is truned off. The Chipper-StopperTM is a low-cost alternative for high inertial applications
such as wood chippers, centrifuges and hogs.

The Fan-StopTM is an electronic motor brake that permits rapid starting
of AC motors by first eliminating an effect called "wind-milling" or coasting.
The braking action is by DC injection, creating a stationary magnetic field
within the motor. Braking action is smooth, adjustable and frictionless,
beginning automatically before the motor is turned on. The Fan-StopTM is specially intended for applications such as fans
where the motor may be wind-milling in reverse prior to the motor receiving a
command to run. By braking the motor to a stop, mechanical stresses on power
train are eliminated.

The Star-BrakeTM is an electronic motor brake that permits rapid stopping
of AC motors by DC injection, creating a stationary magnetic field within the
motor. Braking action is smooth, adjustable and frictionless, beginning
automatically when the motor is turned off. The Star-BrakeTM includes an across-the-line starter and motor overload
to create a compact, single cabinet motor starter/brake combination.

The Brake-PakTM is an electronic motor brake that permits rapid stopping
of single phase AC motors by DC injection, creating a stationary magnetic field
within the motor. Braking action is smooth, adjustable and frictionless,
beginning automatically when the motor is turned off. The Brake-PakTM is available in either an enclosed or modular form for
added versatility.
