No, Bear-Loc is a positive locking device, it is not a brake. It locks a load in position when desired motion stops or locks instantly when undesired power loss could cause motion. This provides safety and serves as an emergency stop.
Brakes are used intentionally to slow down motion and to stop motion. The Bear-Loc is not intended to be used as a braking device to slow down motion. It provides instant stopping for safety purposes but is not intended to be used for repetitive braking action.
