The stator is designed to comply with heat class F. The limit temperature of the coils is 155 °C. The BFK455-25 spring-applied brake is designed for a maximum duty cycle of 60 % with holding current reduc- tion.
Product description 3.2.1 Basic module Fig. 1: Design of a BFK455-25 spring-applied brake Tappet Armature plate Complete rotor Flange Gear teeth Compression springs Coil Function This brake is an electrically releasable spring-applied brake with two rotating brake discs (rotors) that are equipped on both sides with friction linings.
This design not only prevents the penetration of spray water and dust, but also the spreading of abrasion particles outside the brake. This is achieved by the following enclosures: ¾ A cover ring over the armature plate and rotor. INTORQ | BA 14.0215 | 07/2019...
Technical specifications Technical specifications Possible applications of the INTORQ spring-applied brake ¾ Degree of protection: – The brake is designed for operation under the environmental conditions that apply to IP54 protec- tion. Because of the numerous possibilities of using the brake, it is still necessary to check the func- tionality of all mechanical components under the corresponding operating conditions.

Maintenance and repair Maintenance and repair INTORQ spring-applied brakes are wear-resistant and designed for long maintenance intervals. The friction lining and braking mechanism are subject to operational wear. To ensure safe and trouble-free operations, the brake must be checked at regular intervals and replaced when necessary (refer to the table Maintenance intervals, Page 44).
After replacing the rotor, the original braking torque will not be reached until the run-in op- eration for the friction surfaces has been completed. After replacing the rotor, the run-in armature plates and the flanges have an increased initial rate of wear. INTORQ | BA 14.0215 | 07/2019...
