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 braking force applied by pressure springs between the armature plate and a counter friction surface. This corre- sponds 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 IP66 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 CAUTION Functional incapacity of the brake It is very important to comply with the minimum thread depth of the end shield (refer to the Mounting data, Page 14 table). If the required thread depth is not maintained, the fastening screws may run onto the thread root.
Technical specifications Switching times The operating times listed here are guide values which apply to DC switching with rated air gap s , warm coil and standard characteristic torque. The operating times given are mean values and subject to varia- tions.
Page 21
Technical specifications Engagement time The transition from a brake-torque-free state to a holding-braking torque is not free of time lags. For emergency braking, short engagement times for the brake are absolutely essential. The DC-side switching in connection with a suitable spark suppressor must therefore be provided. Engagement time for AC-side switching: The engagement time is significantly longer (approx.
Technical specifications Friction work / operating frequency Sizes Operating frequency S [h ] Fig. 3: Friction work as a function of the operating frequency –S –S hmax – e hmax – 1 The permissible operating frequency S depends on the friction work Q (refer to Figure Friction work / hmax operating frequency, Page 22).
Technical specifications 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. Noise The loudness of the switching noise during engaging and disengaging depends on the air gap "s "...

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.
Maintenance and repair Inspections To ensure safe and trouble-free operations, the spring-applied brakes must be checked at regular intervals and, if necessary, replaced. Servicing at the facility will be easier if the brakes are made accessible. This must be considered when installing the drives in the plant. Primarily, the required maintenance intervals for industrial brakes result from their load during operation.
Maintenance and repair 8.3.1 Checking the components ¾ Check release function and control Refer to Release / voltage, Page 49 ¾ Refer to Checking the air Possible with the components sized 12 to gap, Page 48 18: Measure the air gap With mounted ¾ Measure the rotor thickness (replace ro- brake Refer to Brake replacement, Page 49...
Maintenance and repair 8.3.3 Release / voltage DANGER Danger: rotating parts! The running rotor must not be touched. DANGER There is a risk of injury by electrical shock! The live connections must not be touched. 1. Check the brake functionality when the drive is running: The armature plate must be tightened and the rotor must move without residual torque.
After replacing the rotor, the run-in armature plates and the flanges have an increased initial rate of wear. Spare parts list Spring-applied brake INTORQ BFK470-06 to 18 Fig. 21: Spring-applied brake INTORQ BFK470-06 to 18...
