After receipt of the delivery, check immediately whether it corresponds to the accompanying papers. INTORQ does not grant any warranty for deficiencies claimed subsequently. Claim – visible transport damage immediately to the forwarder.
– operating faults – disregarding these Operating Instructions Warranty Terms of warranty: see terms of sale and delivery of INTORQ GmbH & Co. KG. Warranty claims must be made to INTORQ immediately after detecting defects or faults. The warranty is void in all cases where liability claims cannot be made.
Do not operate the spring-applied brake unless it is in perfect condition. Retrofittings, modifications and changes of the drive system are generally forbidden. In any case, INTORQ GmbH & Co. KG must be contacted beforehand. The friction lining and the friction surfaces must be carefully protected from oil or grease since even small amounts of lubricants reduce the brake torque considerably.

3.1.1 General information The spring-applied brake INTORQ BFK468- is a single-disk brake with two friction surfaces. The brake torque is generated by several compression springs (2) by friction. The brake is released electromagnetically with holding current reduction via an INTORQ bridge/half-wave rectifier.
j | BA 14.0190 - EN | 02/2007 Technical data 3.1.7 Encapsulated design (optional) This design not only avoids the penetration of spray water and dust, but also the spreading of abrasion particles outside the brake. This is achieved by: a cover seal over the armature plate and rotor, a cover in the adjuster nut, a shaft seal in the adjuster nut for continuous shafts (option).
55.1 Tab. 3 Rated data - spring-applied brake INTORQ BFK468 The friction lining is designed such that the brake can be adjusted at least 5 times. The screw length depends on the material and the thickness of the customer’s mounting place.

Spark suppressors for the rated voltages, which are to be connected in parallel to the contact are available for engagement on the DC side.
Under normal switching conditions with an unfiltered DC voltage via a bridge circuit, the INTORQ spring-applied brake complies with the EMC standard EN50081, part 1. Please note that the entire circuit only complies with the EMC Directive, if it is configured...

Bridge/half-wave rectifiers are used for the supply of electromagnetic spring-applied DC brakes which have been released for operation with such rectifiers. Any other use is only permitted with the explicit written approval of INTORQ. After a defined overexcitation time, the bridge/half-wave rectifiers change from bridge rectification to half-wave rectification.

j | BA 14.0190 - EN | 02/2007 Electrical installation Tip! During operation according to Fig. 16 the air gap is only monitored when no voltage is applied to the brake. This makes sense because it is possible that when the current flows only one side of the armature plate is attracted at first.
