Dings 60 Series Brakes
The workhorse for 56C to 145TC motors
Dings 60 Series brakes mount on the end of 56C, 143TC and 145TC C-face motors to stop and hold loads on conveyors, hoists, mixers and machine tools. They are direct acting with one moving part, so there are no linkages to wear or break.

✔ Flexmount with AC or DC coils
✔ NEMA 2, NEMA 4 and NEMA 4X washdown enclosures
