General Electric 5K49KN4563B Brake Motor

The General Electric 5K49KN4563B Brake Motor is a 1/2 HP, 1725 RPM, three-phase unit built around a 56C frame to fit compact drive assemblies while delivering integrated braking performance. As a brake motor, it includes a built-in braking device that enables rapid deceleration and secure holding of the driven load when power is removed, a fundamental capability for automation and machinery where safe, controlled stops are required. The model designation 5K49KN4563B identifies a GE brake motor with a 56C frame and three-phase operation, making it suitable for integration into compact drive systems that demand precise, immediate braking support in equipment where space is a critical factor. With the 1/2 HP rating and 1725 RPM at 3-phase input, this motor delivers a balance of modest power and quick stopping capability, making it a focused solution for machines that require reliable brake action without occupying a large footprint. This brake motor is designed for use in environments where controlled stopping and load retention are essential, reflecting GE's engineering approach to reliable, compact motor solutions.
