ER-1225 and ER-825 Permanent Magnet Spline Brake Upgrades for Montgomery HR Series Escalators

All maintenance providers that service Montgomery HR Series escalators are encouraged to replace existing ER-1225 and ER-825 pin drive brakes with the recently developed spline brake replacements.

  • More Robust
  • More Reliable
  • Longer Lasting
  • Vibration Resistant 
  • Interchangeable in Form, Fit, and Function
  • Available With or Without Sensors

The permanent magnet spline brake is designed to gradually stop the escalator and hold it stationary under full load. This brake includes a closed-loop brake circuit within a solid state and/or microprocessor controller and is designed to meet current ASME – A17.1 Code deceleration rate requirements, and operates in conjunction with a velocity feedback encoder and/or tachometer.


The component parts of the spline and pin armatures are considered interchangeable in form, fit and function; therefore the existing tachometer and/or encoder and brake control system may be reused. The brake voltage must be adjusted per the installation instruction to achieve the proper armature setting.


Both the ER-1225 12″ Spline Brake and the ER-825 8″ Spline Brake are available with or without sensors.
