Brake Module for Radial Arm Saws

Enhance the safety and efficiency of your Radial Arm Saw with the Brake Module from Original Saw Company. This essential component gives your saw a smooth and reliable stop every time, minimizing downtime and improving operator safey.

Key Features

• Enhanced Safety: Reduces blade stop time significantly, minimizing the risk of accidents.
• Superior Compatibility: Works seamlessly with all Original Saw models that do not contain a Variable Frequency Drive (VFD).
• Easy Installation: Designed for user-friendly installation, requiring minimal tools or expertise, allowing for quick integration into your saw system.

When to Replace 

• The Brake Stops Functioning Correctly
  • Hard Starts or Tripping Out: If the brake doesn’t release properly, the saw may start hard or trip out during startup.
  • Stuck Brake: A stuck brake prevents the motor and shaft from spinning freely, making operation difficult.
• Visible Damage
  • Burnt or Charred Spots: Inspect the circuit board for burnt or charred areas.
  • Leakage: Look for fluid leakage from the large cylinder on the module.
  • Broken Capacitors: Check for damaged capacitors or other visible wear on the module board.
• Extended Stop Time
  • If the saw blade fails to stop within the recommended timeframe, it’s a sign the brake module is not performing optimally. These related components  may also need replacement:
    • Brake Disc
    • Fan and Liner Assembly
    • Tie Rod Kit 
    • Brake Coil Assembly
• Burned-Out Brake Coil
  • If the brake coil burns out, replace the coil and the brake module simultaneously. A failed coil can damage the module, so addressing both components together ensures proper functionality.
