1 to 12 Preparing the installation 1. Remove the packaging from the spring-applied brake and dispose of it properly. 2. Check the delivery for completeness. 3. Check the name plate specifications (especially the rated voltage)! Kendrion INTORQ | BA 14.0223 | 04/2022...
2. Press the hub with a moderate amount of force to the shaft. 3. Secure the hub against axial displacement (for example, by using a circlip). NOTICE If you are using the spring-applied brake for reverse operations, glue the hub to the shaft. Kendrion INTORQ | BA 14.0223 | 04/2022...
End shield Socket-head cap screw for fas- tening the brake 1. Push the spring-applied brake on the hub. 2. Tighten the socket-head cap screws slightly to attach the brake (screws should have just gripped). Kendrion INTORQ | BA 14.0223 | 04/2022...

3. Remove the assembly lock (the rubber ring). 4. Screw the spring-applied brake to the end shield using the cap screws. Use a torque wrench (refer to the Mounting data, Page 16 table for the tightening torques). Kendrion INTORQ | BA 14.0223 | 04/2022...
2. Align the through holes in the flange to the threads of the fastening bore holes in the end shield. 3. The further work steps are identical with the assembly of the brake as described in the chapter Mount- ing the BFK557-06 to -12, Page 25. Kendrion INTORQ | BA 14.0223 | 04/2022...

BEG-24x: U [V DC] = 0.45 • U [V AC] Spark suppressor: 14.198.00.xx (required once, select position) For most regional/national high-voltage mains voltages, this only makes sense for supplies on L1 and N. Kendrion INTORQ | BA 14.0223 | 04/2022...
The bridge-half-wave rectifiers are used to supply electromagnetic DC spring-applied brakes which are ap- proved for use with such rectifiers. Other use is only permitted with the approval of Kendrion INTORQ. Once a set overexcitation period has elapsed, the bridge-half-wave rectifiers switch over from bridge recti- fication to half-wave rectification.
AC switching must also be carried out for the mains supply side switching (fast engagement)! Otherwise, there will be no overexcitation when it is switched back on. Delayed engagement Fast engagement Mains Bridge Coil Mains Coil Kendrion INTORQ | BA 14.0223 | 04/2022...

Commissioning and operation Commissioning and operation Possible applications of the Kendrion INTORQ spring-applied brake NOTICE In case of high humidity: If condensed water and moisture are present, provide for an ap- propriate ventilation for the brake to ensure that all friction components dry quickly.
DANGER Danger: rotating parts! Your system should be mechanically immobilized in the event that it could start moving when the brake is released. 3. Switch the power on. Kendrion INTORQ | BA 14.0223 | 04/2022...
– A sufficient torque must build up immediately! Notice If faults occur, refer to the error search table (Troubleshooting and fault elimina- tion, Page 48). If the fault cannot be fixed or eliminated, please contact the customer service department. Kendrion INTORQ | BA 14.0223 | 04/2022...
The deviation must be less than ± 10%! ¾ When using bridge/half-wave rectifiers: After switching to one-way voltage, the measured DC voltage may drop to 45% of the voltage specified on the name plate. Kendrion INTORQ | BA 14.0223 | 04/2022...

Contamination by oils and greases should be removed using brake cleaner, or the brake should be replaced after determining the cause. Dirt and particles in the air gap between the stator and the armature plate endanger the function and should be removed. Kendrion INTORQ | BA 14.0223 | 04/2022...
3. Replace the brake if necessary. 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. Kendrion INTORQ | BA 14.0223 | 04/2022...
10. If necessary, deactivate the mechanical shutdown of the system. Notice After replacing the brake, the original braking torque will not be reached until the run-in opera- tion for the friction surfaces has been completed. Kendrion INTORQ | BA 14.0223 | 04/2022...
