PV Industries · Industry Focus
Safety brakes and electromagnetic clutches for solar tracker drive motors and small wind turbine or micro-hydro generator disconnect. Zero battery drain during hold — the safety brake holds the solar panel position without consuming any electrical energy.
Aligned with India's Atmanirbhar Bharat domestic content requirements for solar installations. Application engineering consultation recommended before specifying — shaft speed, torque, and duty cycle must be confirmed for your specific system.
A solar tracker must hold its panel array at the correct position during long periods when tracking is paused — at night, during cloud cover, during wind protection stow events. Continuous motor energisation to hold position drains the system battery, shortens motor life, and creates a safety risk on power loss.
Spring-applied safety brake holds the tracker drive motor shaft by default — zero power, zero battery drain. 24V DC releases spring for tracking movement. Coil de-energises at tracking completion — spring re-engages instantly, panel held at new position without any power consumption.
Safety BrakeA small wind turbine or micro-hydro generator needs to disconnect the generator from the drive shaft during fault conditions, overspeed events, or planned maintenance. Without a disconnect, an overspeed event that cannot be arrested aerodynamically will damage the generator windings.
Normal operation: coil energised, torque transmitted. Overspeed or fault: controller de-energises coil, spring releases armature — generator disconnected, zero drag on rotor. Re-engagement when fault cleared and speeds normalised — no manual coupling required.

What sets PV Industries apart for renewable energy customers specifically.
The spring-applied safety brake holds the solar tracker without consuming a single watt — directly extending system energy autonomy and battery life. Indian-made, INR-priced, aligned with Atmanirbhar Bharat domestic content requirements for Indian solar projects.
PV Industries' spring-applied safety brakes are proven in India's most demanding safety-critical applications — crane hoists, CNC machine tool axes, and AGV drive motors. The same fail-to-safe principle — spring engagement on power loss — is directly applicable to solar tracker and renewable energy systems.
Small wind and micro-hydro applications vary significantly in shaft speed, torque, and duty cycle. PV Industries recommends an engineering consultation before specifying — we confirm suitability for your specific system. No guesswork, no field failures from wrong specification.
Our application engineering team will confirm the right product, torque range, and mounting configuration for your specific requirement.
