Possible applications of the INTORQ spring-applied brake Humidity: no restrictions – In case of formation of condensed water and moisture: provide for appropriate ventilation to ensure that all components will dry quickly.
Emergency braking is possible at high speed. The more friction work, the higher the wear, (operating speeds 16). The BFK455 spring-applied brake is a double disc brake with four friction surfaces. The braking torque is generated within two electrically and mechanically separated braking circuits by means of several compression springs (1.2) with friction locking.

The stator (1) is designed in temperature class F. The temperature limit of the coils (8) is 155 °C. The BFK455 spring-applied brake is designed for a maximum operating time of 60 % with a reduction of the holding current.

j | BA 14.0196 | 05/2013 Technical data 3.1.6 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 14.0196 | 05/2013 Technical data Engagement time The transition from brake-torque free state to holding braking torque is not free of time lags. Short brake engagement times are vital for emergency braking. DC switching together with a suitable spark suppressor must therefore be provided. The engagement times are valid for DC switching with a spark suppressor.

The user must ensure compliance with EMC Directive 2004/108/EC using appropriate controls and switching devices. If an INTORQ rectifier is used for the DC switching of the spring-applied brake and if the operating frequency exceeds five switching operations per minute, the use of a mains filter is required.
