10.10 Holding brakes
10.10.1 Holding brake electrically releasing
Holding brakes of MSK motors work according to the principle of "electrically
releasing". The holding brakes are released when applying the switching volt‐
age.
The power supply of the holding brake must be designed in such a way as to
guarantee under the worst installation and operation conditions that sufficient
voltage of 24 V ±10% is available on the motor in order to bleed the holding
brake.

Switching condition holding brake over time
The holding brake is used to hold axes at standstill and with drive enable
switched off. If the supply voltage fails or the drive enable is switched off,
electrically releasing holding brakes close automatically.
Do not use the holding brake as a service brake for moving axes.
If the holding brake is repeatedly activated while the drive is rotating or the
permissible braking energy is exceeded, premature wear may occur.
