Overview
The Dings Dynamics 6-61003-5111-Z1DD is a spring-set electromagnetic disc brake designed for rapid, reliable stopping and holding of industrial motors. Manufactured by Dings Company, this brake is built for use with industrial motors including C face mounted and Double C Face Coupler configurations. The spring-set design provides fail-safe operation—the brake engages mechanically when de-energized, holding the motor shaft even during power loss. This model is ideal for applications requiring positive torque holding in motion control, material handling, and machinery braking systems.
Key Features
- Spring-set electromagnetic design engineered to stop and hold motors quickly and reliably with years of trouble-free performance
- Fail-safe operation: brake engages automatically when power is removed
- Double C Face mounting for direct coupling to motor shafts
- Compact, space-saving design suitable for industrial NEMA motor frames
- Manual release lever for safe, controlled manual disengagement during maintenance
Technical Specifications
Brakes are designed for horizontal mounting; vertical mounting requires modification, indicated by a prefix of VO (Vertical Over) or VU (Vertical Under) on the model number. The 6-61003 series operates on AC voltage at industrial frequencies (50/60 Hz). Installation is straightforward when mounted to motor shafts with the included gasket. Single voltage coil connects to any two line leads (single or three-phase) of the same voltage and frequency as the brake.
Typical Applications
- Industrial motor braking and load holding
- Conveyor systems and material handling equipment
- Pump and compressor fail-safe braking
- Machine tool spindle brakes
- Hazardous location braking where fail-safe operation is required
- NEMA motor frames 48C through 405TC
Compatibility & Replacements
Compatible With
- Standard C-frame and Double C-Face NEMA industrial motors
- Motor frames 48C through 405TC
- AC single-phase and three-phase power supplies (50/60 Hz)
- Standard motor mounting interfaces with gasket seal
