After approx. 1...2 seconds, the supply voltage is decreased to 50%. 3.1.5 Release monitoring The INTORQ BFK466 spring−applied brake is equipped with a microswitch (changeover contact) which monitors the switching status. During brake release, the microswitch (9) changes over. This must exclude drive operation against the applied brake.

j | BA 14.0204 | 02/2012 Technical data 3.1.8 Project planning notes The brakes are dimensioned in such a way that the given characteristic torques are reached safely after a short run−in process. Due to the fluctuating properties of the organic friction linings used and the alternating environmental conditions, deviations of the given braking torques may occur.

j | BA 14.0204 | 02/2012 Technical data Disengagement time The disengagement time is not affected by DC or AC switching. The indicated disengagement time applies to an air gap of 0.4 mm. When the air gap is larger (as a result of wear), the disengagement time increases.
j | BA 14.0204 | 02/2012 Technical data Emission Heat Since the brake converts kinetic energy as well as mechanical and electrical energy into heat, the surface temperature varies considerably, depending on the operating conditions and possible heat dissipation. Under unfavourable conditions, the surface temperature can reach 130_C.

j | BA 14.0204 | 02/2012 Electrical installation When current is fed to the spring−applied brake, the armature plate is released. The microswitch (NC contact) is actuated and gives the signal Spring−applied brake released". When the maximum working air gap is exceeded, the release monitoring circuit is opened by the wear monitoring microswitch connected in series.

j | BA 14.0204 | 02/2012 Commissioning and operation During operation Danger! Live connections must not be touched. Check the brake regularly during operation. Take special care of: – unusual noises or temperatures – loose fixing elements – the condition of the electrical cables. The armature plate must be attracted and the drive must move without residual torque.
If several of the causes of wear indicated for the friction lining occur in an application at the same time, the influencing factors must be added for calculating the wear. The INTORQ Select dimensioning program can be used to calculate the maintenance intervals.
j | BA 14.0204 | 02/2012 Maintenance/repair Inspections 7.2.1 Important notes To ensure safe and trouble−free operation, spring−applied brakes must be checked and maintained at regular intervals. Servicing can be made easier if good accessibility of the brakes is provided in the plant. This must be considered when installing the drives in the plant. Primarily, the necessary maintenance intervals for industrial brakes result from the load during operation.
