Maintenance intervals for the brake
For safe and fault-free operation, the spring-operated brake must be regularly checked and
maintained.
For operational braking, the necessary maintenance intervals are primarily a result of the
loading on the brake in the application. When calculating the maintenance interval, all the
causes of wear must be taken into account. For low loaded brakes, e.g. holding brakes with
emergency stop, a regular inspection at fixed time intervals is recommended.
A lack of brake maintenance can lead to operating faults, production outage or damage to
the plant. For this reason, a maintenance plan must be stipulated for each application,
appropriate to the operating conditions and loading of the brake. The following table lists the
stipulated maintenance intervals and maintenance work to be carried out for the pneumatic
brake.
