Parker Brake Motors

Parker brake motors are medium duty, low speed, high torque motors with an integral parking or holding brake.

Building the brake into the motor removes the need for a separate brake on the drive, saving space on wheel drives, winches and slew drives.

The range covers two brake types: spring-applied, hydraulically released brakes on the BG and BH, and mechanical drum brakes on the DF and DG. All four series are rated for intermittent pressures up to 276 bar (4,000 psi).
