Re: Mini Cim torque in brake mode?

Brake mode is a dynamic brake. That is to say braking torque is generated only while the motor is turning. The faster the motor is turning the more torque is generated. This will slow your elevator, but is incapable of stopping it.

Have you calculated what power is required to hold the elevator in place?
