Layout This chapter describes the variants, layout and functionality of the BFK518 spring-applied brake. 3.2.1 Spring-applied brake BFK518 Fig. 1: Structure and layout of an INTORQ BFK518 spring-applied brake Rotor Counter friction surface (flange) Armature plate Coil Stator...
Product description Function This brake is an electrically releasable spring-applied brake with a rotating brake disk (rotor) that is equipped on both sides with friction linings. In its de-energized state, the rotor is clamped with spring force applied by pressure springs between the armature plate and a counter friction surface. This corresponds to a fail-safe functionality.
Technical specifications Technical specifications Possible applications of the INTORQ spring-applied brake ¾ Degree of protection: – The brake is designed for operation under the operating conditions that apply to IP00 protection. Because of the numerous possibilities of using the brake, it is still necessary to check the function- ality of all mechanical components under the corresponding operating conditions.

Technical specifications Electromagnetic compatibility Notice The user must ensure compliance with EMC Directive 2014/30/EC using appropriate controls and switching devices. Emissions Heat Since the brake converts kinetic energy and electrical energy into heat, the surface temperature varies considerably, depending on the operating conditions and possible heat dissipation. A surface temperature of 130 °C may be reached under unfavorable conditions.

Mechanical installation Mechanical installation This chapter provides step-by-step instructions for the installation. Important notes NOTICE The toothed hub and screws must not be lubricated with grease or oil. Design of end shield and shaft ¾ Comply with the specified minimum requirements regarding the end shield and the shaft to ensure a correct function of the brake.
Mechanical installation Installing the hub onto the shaft NOTICE When the brake is being used in a servo motor, we recommend attaching the hub with a shrink fitting (heating it up first). Alternatively, a key may be used to avoid shrinkage. Notice Recommended ISO fitting for shaft: Max.
Mechanical installation Brake mounting Notice Depending on the particular design, the sequence of assembly steps may vary. Fig. 6: Mounting the brake Brake BFK518 Motor shaft End shield of hub Motor housing (example) 1. Push the brake along with the internal rotor toothing onto the completely cooled hub. NOTICE When routing the connecting wire leads, make sure that there is no contact between these leads and moving parts such as the rotor or armature plate.

Mechanical installation NOTICE Screws of strength class 8.8 are required to fasten the brake to the motor end shield. Please note: Spring washers or other unsuitable screw-lock mechanisms are not permit- ted! 4. Fasten the brake to the end shield using the fastening screws (use screws of strength class 8.8 through the end shield into the threaded holes provided in the magnet housing).
Electrical installation Electrical installation Important notes DANGER There is a risk of injury by electrical shock! ¾ The electrical connections may only be made by trained electricians! ¾ Make sure that you switch off the electricity before working on the connections! There is a risk of unintended start-ups or electric shock.
Commissioning and operation Commissioning and operation Function checks before initial commissioning 7.1.1 Function check of the brake If a fault or malfunction arises during the function check, you can find important information for trou- bleshooting in the chapter Troubleshooting and fault elimination, Page 26. If the fault cannot be fixed or eliminated, please contact the customer service department.
Maintenance and repair Maintenance and repair Wear of spring-applied brakes WARNING Braking torque reduction The system must not be allowed to continue operations after the maximum air gap s Lmax has been exceeded. Exceeding the maximum air gap can cause a major reduction in the braking torque! The table below shows the different causes of wear and their impact on the components of the spring-ap- plied brake.
Troubleshooting and fault elimination Troubleshooting and fault elimination If any malfunctions should occur during operations, please check for possible causes based on the follow- ing table. If the fault cannot be fixed or eliminated by one of the listed steps, please contact customer ser- vice.
