FAQs
Yes. The 7BVBM3542 is designed for 56C frame motors, supports 3-phase operation at 60 Hz, and accepts voltages of 208, 230, or 460 V. It features a C-Face drive-end mounting and horizontal orientation options to simplify panel integration and minimize wiring complexity.
Key specs include 0.75 HP output, rated speed 1725 r/min, synchronous speed 1800 r/min, and rated currents 2.9 A / 2.6 A / 1.3 A depending on voltage. It uses a 60 Hz electrical environment and a 56C frame with a 0.63 in shaft diameter for compatible drives.
The 7BVBM3542 is well-suited for conveyors, packaging lines, and machine tools where precise, repeatable braking improves cycle times and reduces wear. It fits standard automation panels and retrofits existing 56C-frame motors, helping maintain throughput in continuous-duty processes.
The brake carries CSA and UR certifications and RoHS compliance. It is designed for a TENV enclosure and continuous-duty operation, aligning with regulatory requirements in regulated manufacturing environments and supporting sustainable, compliant automation systems.
Warranty terms follow standard ABB policy with returns if issues arise; the product notes ‘Warranty Return: Product under warranty must be returned’. With stock at multiple warehouses and zero lead time, maintenance teams can achieve faster mean time to repair (MTTR), improving overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) and reducing downtime costs.
