Note The ERMB is not fitted with a brake. When the input torque is not applied, the rotary module can be moved freely. Generally self-locking of the complete system can be achieved with motors with integrated holding brake or with high self-braking torque.
The positioning times and permitted mass moments of inertia on the drive depend to a large extent on the flange-mounted motor. S Use the design tool “Positioning Drives” from Festo for ascertaining the optimum combination of the products (è www.festo.com).
External stops can cause the toothed belt to tear due to excessive forces. S Use only the motor controller for braking the ERMB. Position the ERMB so that all the operating parts are accessible. Fasten the ERMB with 4 screws and 2 centring sleeves (diagonal) or with the aid of kits to the threaded holes 1 or 8.

If there is a power failure or if the toothed belt breaks inside the ERMB, the work load Fig. 6 will slide down. S Make sure that the ERMB is driven only by motors with an integrated spring- loaded holding brake. S Check whether external safety measures against damage due to toothed-belt frac...
(B). – then unscrew it approx. 0.6 of a turn (o 0.6 mm). 4. Screw the threaded pin (ß 2.5) into the clamping unit (C). The tightening torque Fig. 9 is 0.8 Nm. Festo ERMB 2018-12a English...
Turning the holding ring (F) Note If the holding ring is loosened, the drive shaft may be drawn out of the ERMB due Fig. 10 to excessive axial forces. S Avoid axial forces when the holding ring is loose.
Note Excessive drive torques will damage the ERMB. S Observe the maximum permitted drive torque of the ERMB. If necessary, the motor current must be limited. Note With excessive rotary movements (e.g. endless rotation) the energy supply to the plug-in components may be interrupted.
3. Start test travel limited to low dynamics. 4. Check whether the ERMB fulfils the following requirements: – The rotary module must be able to move through the complete intended positioning cycle.
(danger of fingers being squashed). Controller signals can cause unintentional movements of the ERMB. S Switch off the controller for all maintenance work on the ERMB and protect it from being switched on again unintentionally. If necessary, clean the ERMB with a soft cloth.
