The document summarizes key features of electromagnetic brakes and torque limiters manufactured by EIDE. An FAE/M electromagnetic brake uses a disk that reacts to springs to directly brake an element, and is de-energized when tension is applied. An LPPSS torque limiter is designed to absorb overloads and maintain synchronism during work. It can include a microcontact breaker to electrically stop transmission if synchronism is lost, detecting increased torque before loss of synchronism through its characteristic curve. EIDE is located in Castellar del Vallés, Barcelona, Spain.

What are the key features of the FAE/M electromagnetic brake?
A FAE/M electromagnetic brake is formed by a disk that, by reaction of springs, acts
directly on the element to be braked, and that when tension is applied, it is de-energised.
How does an LPPSS torque limiter work?
An LPPSS torque limiter is specifically designed to absorb overloads of work and also
maintain synchronism during routine work.
A microcontact breaker can be installed so that, when detecting the loss of synchronism,
stops the entire transmission through an electrical signal. Due to the characteristic curve,
it is possible to detect the torque increase before a loss of synchronism occurs.
