Commissioning and operation
7.1
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.
At high humidity and low temperatures: Take measures to ensure that the armature plate
and rotor do not freeze.
Important notes
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 many ways the brake can be used, it is necessary to check the functionality of all me-
chanical components under the corresponding operating conditions.
¾
The breakaway torque may increase after long downtimes in humid environments where temperatures
vary.
¾
The brakes are dimensioned in such a way that the specified rated torques are reached safely after a
short run-in period
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.
