Explore the key features and benefits

Baldor-Reliance High Cycle Brakemotor is found wherever production lines demand speed, accuracy, and durability — especially in automated, high-duty cycle systems.

Cast aluminum

The cast aluminum frame enhances thermal dissipation, helping the brakemotor stay cooler under frequent braking — ensuring longer life, better performance, and consistent stopping power.

Dependable

A fast-acting DC brake with an internal rectifier quickly stops the motor by converting AC power to DC to engage the brake without external components.

Low inertia

A low inertia, high efficiency motor is ideal for fast, responsive performance with energy-saving operation — combining speed and precision with long-term reliability.

Inverter Duty

Baldor-Reliance three phase motors are suitable for inverter use per NEMA MG1 Part 31.4.4.2. Enhanced phase insulation protects the motor windings for reliable operation with VFD.

Energy Efficient

Baldor-Reliance® motors meet or exceed all efficiency requirements for US, Canada and Mexico regulations.

Available

Baldor-Reliance motors are built in US manufacturing facilities and available from our industry leading global distribution network - and are available when and where you need them.
