Linear Module Options

Adept Python Modules User’s Guide, Rev. E 45

Brakes are required for all modules on which the payload will be moving vertically. The

brakes are designed to hold the maximum-rated payload when High Power to the MB-10

amplifier is removed. Brakes are not engaged during normal servo operation. They are

not required to assist in deceleration or nulling at a programmed location. When ordering

linear modules via the Adept website, configurations with vertical axes default to include

a brake.

Brakes increase the length of each module, as shown in the following drawings.
