INSPEcTIONS PrIOr TO STArT-UP Of THE BrAKE
6 Start-up
6.1 Inspections prior to start-up of the brake
6.1.1 Visual inspection
• Do connection and rated voltage (magnet marking) agree?
• Are external damages visible?
• Are there impurities in the functional area or foreign bodies in the air gap of the
brake?
6.1.2 Load-free testing
• Ensure that the brake is unloaded.
• Release/close the brake by switching the voltage supply.
NOTICE
Damage due to non-observance !
►
Do not put into operation if one of the tests is not OK.
6.1.3 run in of the brake
NOTICE
Damage due to insufficient rated braking torque !
►
The rated braking torque is only reached after the brake has run in.
Notes on running-in process:
• Do not energize magnets.
• Stop the drive / motor.
• Check the torque.
• If the torque is not reached, the cycle must be repeated.
NOTICE
Lower braking torque than holding brake !
►
If the brake is only used as a holding brake without dynamic load,
the braking torque may drop. A new run in (refreshment) must be
done within the scope of maintenance.
