Abstract
A motor includes a housing containing a rotor and stator. A brake assembly is adapted to restrain rotation of the rotor. A brake controller includes a brake diagnostics system. At least one vibration sensor is located in the housing and provides vibration data to the brake diagnostics system in response to a brake operation cycle of the brake assembly. The vibration data is used by the brake diagnostics system to assess an operative condition of the brake assembly.
