Abstract
A self-powered motor braking mechanism includes a dedicated power source sized for braking the respective motor and a dedicated braking circuitry configured to provide hybrid braking of the motor to a targeted stop. The motor braking circuitry is configured, in the event of a loss of primary power driving the motor, to provide a combination of two or more of dynamic braking, active braking and active position control to achieve zero speed of the motor by a target stopping time.
