Foreword

These are DC brakes with power supply at different voltages. The standard brake should be connected to a dedicated input of the inverter or via an external power circuit, paying attention to the current value required for its operation.

The springs (3) press the rotor (2), which is connected to the motor shaft, against the motor flange via the brake disc (6), which has an axial movement; thus, the required braking torque is produced. By applying a DC voltage to the winding, the magnet body (1) is energized, and a magnetic force is generated that draws the brake disc (6) toward the magnet body; the brake rotor (2) is released, and the brake is released. Due to the construction and design of the magnetic part, the air gap of the brake cannot be adjusted. In case of wear and tear, the rotor may need to be replaced. Safety brakes convert mechanical work and kinetic energy into thermal energy. This causes overheating to varying degrees depending on operating conditions and how the heat is dissipated. Depending on the brake model, the actuation noise will be different.

Assembly instructions

  1. Insert the stop ring (10) into the shaft seat.
  2. Insert the key (11) into the shaft seat.
  3. Place the hub (5) on the shaft.
  4. Apply the flange (12).
  5. Push the rotor (item 2) onto the hub (item 5).
  6. Lock the hub (item 5) by means of the locking ring (item 10).
  7. Screw on the magnetic part with 3 retaining screws (item 8).
  8. Check brake operation, this means that the brake must have been released after applying the rated voltage to the brake.
