Abstract
A brake assembly is configured for a strapping tool tensioning motor. The brake assembly includes a one-way bearing operably connected to the motor output shaft. The bearing has at least two stop members. A brake element is mounted to the motor movable toward and away from the bearing for movement into and out of engagement with one of the bearing stop members. A brake release is connected to the brake element. The brake element is biased into engagement with a bearing stop member. When the brake is engaged with the bearing stop member, the motor can freely rotate in the first direction and cannot rotate in the second reverse direction. The brake release moves the brake element out of engagement with the one of the bearing stop members and the motor can freely rotate in the second reverse direction until the brake release is reengaged with one of the bearing stop members.
