Axis motor brakes can be replaced only together with the axis motor.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Not Applicable
• D. Not Sure

Answer: (B)

Brakes on axis motors are typically separate components from the motor itself, designed to be serviced or replaced independently. Because the brake is a wear item and a safety device, many systems allow you to replace the brake assembly or its friction components without swapping the motor. This is why the claim that brakes can only be replaced together with the motor isn’t universally correct. Always check the manufacturer’s maintenance manual for compatibility and procedure, but in general you can replace the brake alone, ensuring proper isolation, safe energization, and verification of hold torque and release after installation.
