Product catalog summary
Overview: The Nexen Ball Screw Brake is a high-torque, spring-engaged brake designed to prevent back driving in ball screws during power loss or mechanical failure. It offers precision holding with low backlash and high torsional rigidity, suitable for both vertical and horizontal applications.
Features:
  • Low backlash for precision holding
  • Spring engaged, air released mechanism
  • Low inertia and high torsional rigidity
  • Bi-directional braking capability
  • Fast engagement and IP67 dust/waterproof standards
  • Accommodates thermal expansion of ball screws
Specifications:
  • Available in multiple models (BSB2, BSB3, BSB4, BSB5, BSB7) with varying torque, speed, and weight specifications
  • Minimum holding torque ranges from 2 Nm to 125 Nm
  • Release pressure is consistently 5.5 bar (80 psi) across models
  • Maximum speed up to 10,000 RPM for most models
  • Inertia and torsional rigidity values vary by model
Brake Dimensions: Detailed dimensions are provided for each model, including bore diameter, length, and other critical measurements.
Coupling Specifications: Couplings are available with various bore sizes and torsional rigidity values. Custom bores are available upon request.
Back Drive Torque Formula: The document provides a formula to calculate back drive torque, emphasizing the need for a brake with holding torque exceeding the back-drive torque by 20-30%.
Brake Control: A 3-way valve with specific product number and specifications is recommended for brake control, including voltage and power consumption details.
Additional Information: Nexen Group is ISO 9001 certified, and the document notes that specifications are subject to change. For the latest information, consulting the Nexen website is advised.

LINEAR MOTION CONTROL Technical Data Sheet Ball Screw Brake The Nexen Ball Screw Brake is a hightorque, spring-engaged brake acting on the machined end of a ball screw. It serves as a primary or redundant safety brake to prevent back driving if a power loss or mechanical defect occurs in the driveline. The low backlash and coupling combination provides a high degree of accuracy for holding ball screw position. An expanding shaft/clamping hub coupling connects the brake shaft to the end of the ball screw. This coupling comes with an elastomer insert with high torsional stiffness. Features • Low backlash for precision holding • Spring engaged, air released • Low inertia • High torsional rigidity • Bi-directional braking • Fast engagement • Meets IP67 dust and waterproof standards • Operates in vertical and horizontal applications • Allows thermal expansio
