Westwood Robotics Braking Unit Accessory Introduction

Westwood Robotics has launched the Braking Unit accessory for the BEAR Actuator, addressing the unavoidable problem of back-driving in robotics applications: in such cases, the motor becomes a generator, feeding energy back into the power supply and raising the bus voltage, which can endanger electronic components. The video demonstrates how to install, set up, and put the accessory into use; detailed information and resource downloads are available at the links.
