Safety instructions
2.1
General safety information
|
These safety notes do not claim to be complete. If any questions or problems occur,
please contact INTORQ GmbH & Co. KG.
|
The spring-applied brake met the state of the art at the time of delivery and is
generally safe to operate.
|
The spring-applied brake is hazardous to persons, the spring-applied brake itself and
other properties of the operator if
– non-qualified personnel work on and with the spring-applied brake.
– the spring-applied brake is used improperly.
|
The spring-applied brakes must be planned in such a way that if they are correctly
installed and used for their designed purpose in fault-free operation, they fulfil their
function and do not put any persons at risk. This also applies to the interaction thereof
with the overall system.
|
Take appropriate measures to ensure that the failure of the spring-applied brake will
not lead to damage to material.
|
Do not operate the spring-applied brake unless it is in perfect condition.
|
Retrofittings, modifications and changes of the drive system are generally forbidden. In
any case, INTORQ GmbH & Co. KG must be contacted beforehand.
|
The friction lining and the friction surfaces must be carefully protected from oil or
grease since even small amounts of lubricants reduce the brake torque considerably.
|
The braking torque will usually not be influenced if the brake is used under the
environmental conditions that apply to IP54. Because of the numerous possibilities of
using the brake, it is however necessary to check the functionality of all mechanical
components under the corresponding operating conditions.
