Dunkermotoren E90R Schwach Power-Off Brake

The E90R schwach is the reduced-torque version of the Dunkermotoren E90R power-off brake, rated at 0.5Nm nominal torque with a torque range of 0.25–0.7Nm over the temperature range on a 24Vdc supply. Dunkermotoren lists it as the preferred series for GR53 motors.

Like the rest of the E90R series it is based on spring force, a design that is particularly robust and insensitive to temperature and load changes. It draws 0.31A at 7.5W nominal input power, with a 100ms activation time, a 20ms deactivation time and a mass of 0.45kg — all rated values apply in the run-in condition. Protection class is IP20 as supplied; brakes can be mounted openly or with covers in protection class up to IP65, and in combination with brushless motors they can be integrated into the motor profile housing at IP65.

The E90R platform is also available with manual unlocking and manual release — on the standard E90R, a Ø3.6mm hole in the lever takes a Bowden cable, so the brake can be actuated from the front or from the rear, useful where an operator needs to free a jammed axis without power. Contact Powerbox to confirm availability of the manual release option on the schwach build specifically.

Dunkermotoren E90R Schwach power-off brake with black electromagnetic coil band, central bore and two mounting pins
Features
  • Spring-force power-off design holds the load whenever the 24Vdc supply is removed — no holding current, and the axis stays put on power loss
  • Robust and insensitive to temperature and load changes, so holding torque stays consistent as operating conditions vary
  • 0.5Nm nominal holding torque (0.25–0.7Nm over temperature) — the reduced-torque E90R build, sized for lighter axes that a higher-torque brake would over-brake
  • Dunkermotoren's preferred brake series for GR 53 motors — a specified pairing, so it's the first choice for a GR 53 build rather than a torque-matching exercise
  • Engages in 100ms and releases in 20ms — the brake sets promptly on de-energising and clears quickly when power returns
  • IP20 as supplied, or up to IP65 mounted with covers or integrated in a brushless motor's profile housing — one brake suits both open and sealed installations
  • Manual unlocking and manual release available on the standard E90R — a lever hole takes a Bowden cable for front or rear actuation, letting a jammed axis be freed with the machine powered down; confirm with Powerbox whether this option extends to the schwach build

FAQs
Schwach is German for weak, and denotes the reduced-torque build of the E90R. It holds 0.5Nm nominal against 1Nm for the standard E90R, with a torque range of 0.25–0.7Nm rather than 0.60–1.20Nm. Both draw 0.31A at 7.5W on 24Vdc and weigh 0.45kg; the schwach engages in 100ms against 30ms for the standard version. Choose the schwach where a lighter axis would be over-braked by the full 1Nm.
Dunkermotoren lists the E90R schwach as the preferred series for GR53 motors. It is a specified pairing rather than a general recommendation, so it is the first brake to consider for a GR53 build.
A power-off brake holds the load when supply voltage is removed and releases when it is applied, so the axis is held automatically on power loss, emergency stop or shutdown. Specify one wherever a vertical axis, gravity load or positioning stage must not drift while the drive is de-energised — it is a holding brake, not a service brake for decelerating a moving load.
It runs on 24Vdc drawing 0.31A at 7.5W nominal input power, holds 0.5Nm nominal with a 0.25–0.7Nm range over temperature, engages in 100ms and releases in 20ms, and weighs 0.45kg. All rated values apply in the run-in condition.
Yes — the E90R is available with manual unlocking and with manual release. On the manual release version a Ø3.6mm hole in the lever takes a Bowden cable, and actuation can be arranged from the front or from the rear. That lets an operator free a jammed or loaded axis with the machine powered down. Contact sales@powerbox.com.au to confirm availability of the manual release option on the schwach build.
The brake itself is IP20 as supplied. Brakes can be mounted to the motor openly or with covers in protection class up to IP65, and in combination with brushless motors they can be integrated into the motor profile housing at IP65 — so the achievable rating depends on the mounting arrangement rather than on the brake alone.
Selection depends on the holding torque required at the axis, the motor series the brake mounts to, and whether an IP65 profile-housing installation is needed. Send your motor model and load details to sales@powerbox.com.au and Powerbox will confirm the right brake and mounting arrangement.
