Commissioning and operation
Possible applications of the INTORQ spring-applied brake
NOTICE
In case of high humidity: If condensed water and moisture are present, provide for the appro-
priate ventilation for the brake to ensure that all friction components dry quickly.
At high humidity and low temperatures: Take measures to ensure that the armature plate and
rotor do not freeze.
8.1
Protect the electrical connections against any contact or touching.
Important notices and information
DANGER
Danger: rotating parts!
¾
The brake must be free of residual torque.
¾
The drive must not be running when checking the brake.
DANGER
There is a risk of injury by electrical shock!
The live connections must not be touched.
¾
The brake is designed for operation under the environmental conditions that apply to IP54 protection.
Because of the numerous possibilities of using the brake, it is still necessary to check the functionality
of all mechanical components under the corresponding operating conditions.
Notice
Functionality for different operating conditions
¾
The brakes are dimensioned in such a way that the specified rated torques are reached
safely after a short run-in process.
¾
However, as the organic friction linings used do not all have identical properties and be-
cause environmental conditions can vary, deviations from the specified braking torques are
possible. These must be taken into account in the form of appropriate dimensioning toler-
ances. Increased breakaway torque is common, in particular after long downtimes in hu-
mid environments where temperatures vary.
Notice
Operation without dynamic loads (functioning as a pure holding brake)
¾
If the brake is used as a pure holding brake without dynamic load, the friction lining must
be reactivated regularly.
