Powerohm PK Series Braking Modules

The Powerohm PK series of Brake/Resistor Modules and stand alone Brake Chopper Modules are designed as functional replacements for the Rockwell 1336 Mod KA, KB and KC units and 1336 W Series (Series A) offerings. Sold exclusively through the Rockwell channel, the PK series are drop in equivalents, form, fit and function. The standard features of this design include external or internal brake enable, under voltage detection of logic supply, heat-sink over temperature protection and master/slave capability with CROWBAR CIRCUIT. The PK Series Brake Modules are also used for the Kinetix series of Servo Motion products offered by Rockwell. In this case they are referred to as Shunt Modules. The use of braking modules and resistors increase the braking torque capability of a variable frequency drive and servo systems allowing faster and more controlled deceleration times.

If it is necessary to increase the horsepower requirements beyond the capability of a single braking module, the modules are all Master/Slave programmable. This allows an arrangement of multiple Modules to effectively function as a single higher rated module.
