General; Introduction; Standards And Directives - Kendrion EEX Series Operating Instructions Manual

1. General

1.1 Introduction

These operating instructions describe the operating principle and features of the spring-applied brake types
76 ..G..B00. The safety information provided in this manual must be strictly observed during the set-up of the
machine (e.g. motor) and during the start-up, operation and maintenance of the spring-applied brake.
Should any queries arise with respect to torques, torque variations, installation position, wear, wear reserve,
switching work, break-in conditions, release range, ambient conditions and the like, please contact Kendrion
(Villingen) and ask for clarification before starting to use the brake. Spring-applied brakes are not ready-to-use
devices, but are intended to be incorporated into or assembled with other equipment. Consequently, they will
be referred to as components in the following sections.

1.2 Standards and directives

The state-of-the-art brakes have been designed, built and tested in accordance with the requirements of DIN
VDE 0580 concerning electromagnetic devices and components.
The brakes are intended for use in dust and potentially explosive atmospheres. Brake versions protected to
IP56 are only designed for use in potentially explosive atmospheres. The brakes are suitable for ambient
temperatures between -20°C and +40°C. They are approved to the ATEX Directive (2014/34/EU).
Approvals:
dust & explosion protection II
II 2G Ex db eb IIC T5 Gb; -20°C ≤ T
II 2D Ex tb lllC T95°C Db IP67
DMT 02 ATEX E 122 X
IECEX BVS 11.0025X
Being classified as "electromagnetic components", spring-applied brakes are also subject to the Low Voltage
Directive 2014/35/EU. The user is required to employ suitable switching devices and controls to ensure use of
the brakes in accordance with EMC Directive 2014/30/EU.
Option:
