Introduction
The Warner Electric CBC-160 series clutch/
brake controls are single channel devices
designed to provide consistent and repeatable
release of Warner Electric’s Permanent Magnet
90 VDC Fail Safe Motor Brakes. The CBC160 series may also be used with any Warner
Electric 90 VDC clutch/brake.
The output to the clutch/brake is adjustable
through a potentiometer embedded in the
control. A red LED on the front of the CBC-160
unit indicates when power is applied and
will vary in intensity with adjustment of the
potentiometer. The CBC-160-2N operates from
230VAC and can come from either a single
230VAC line or from a 230/460VAC motor. The
CBC-160-1N operates from a 120VAC source
and can come from either a single 120VAC line
or from a 120 VAC source in a 120V/240VAC
motor. CBC-160 control series mounts as the
cover to the standard module conduit box, part
number 5370-101-042.
