01Failures
Common brake problems
Brake does not release
The motor trips or runs against the brake. Check the brake supply first; if it is correct the brake itself needs inspection.
Brake drags after release
Heat, wear and noise on the axis. A dragging brake can also overload the motor.
Brake does not hold the load
A vertical or gravity axis drops when power is off. Stop using the axis and send the motor.
Brake noise or wear
Friction surfaces wear with use and contamination.
02Process
What we do on the bench
- Inspect the brake and check the coil.
- Repair or rework the brake and replace worn parts.
- Test release and hold.
- Check the rest of the motor, including bearings and feedback, before return.

04Questions
Questions
Can you repair an Allen-Bradley servo motor brake?
Yes. We repair and rework the holding brake and test that it releases and holds.
The brake does not release. Is it the motor or the supply?
Check the brake supply at the motor first. If the supply is correct, the brake needs inspection.
My vertical axis dropped. What should I do?
Stop using the axis safely, secure the load and send the motor with the nameplate for inspection.
What should I send?
The motor with its nameplate, and tell us whether the brake does not release, drags or does not hold.
Is the brake tested before return?
Yes. We test release and hold along with the motor checks.
Send the nameplate. We confirm repairability before you courier.
