The IMB DC Injection Brake from IGEL Electric provides a reliable and efficient solution for stopping AC induction motors quickly and safely. By applying direct current (DC) to the motor windings immediately after the supply voltage is disconnected, the IMB generates a stationary magnetic field that rapidly slows the motor without the need for mechanical braking components.
This proven braking method improves operational safety, increases process control, and helps protect both equipment and personnel in demanding industrial environments.
In many industrial applications, uncontrolled motor coast-down can lead to reduced productivity, safety risks, and unnecessary equipment wear. The IMB significantly shortens stopping times, allowing operators to maintain greater control over machines and production processes.
Fast and predictable braking is particularly valuable in applications where precise stopping is essential for operational efficiency and workplace safety.
Unlike conventional mechanical brake systems, DC injection braking eliminates friction-based components that require regular adjustment or replacement. This reduces maintenance requirements while delivering consistent braking performance throughout the life of the equipment.
The result is a simple, dependable braking solution that lowers operating costs and improves system reliability.
The IMB is suitable for a wide range of industrial applications requiring controlled motor stopping, including:
Its robust design ensures dependable operation even in harsh industrial environments where reliability is critical.
Designed for straightforward installation and seamless integration into motor control systems, the IMB offers a cost-effective way to improve safety, equipment protection, and operational performance.
Backed by IGEL Electric’s extensive experience in motor control technology, the IMB delivers trusted DC injection braking for industrial applications worldwide.
IGEL Electric develops, manufactures, and globally distributes innovative power electronics solutions, with a focus on next-generation medium-voltage switchgear. All components-both proprietary and standard—undergo strict quality control to ensure they meet the precise requirements of each project.
