Braking and release
During the braking procedure, the pressure springs use the armature plate to press the rotor (which can
be shifted axially on the hub) against the friction surface. The braking torque is transmitted between the
hub and the rotor via gear teeth.
When the brakes are applied, an air gap (s
L
) is present between the stator and the armature plate. To re-
lease the brake, the coil of the stator is energized with the DC voltage provided. The resulting magnetic
flux works against the spring force to draw the armature plate to the stator. This releases the rotor from the
spring force and allows it to rotate freely.
3.5
Brake torque reduction
For the basic module E, the spring force and thus the brake torque can be reduced by unscrewing the
central torque adjustment ring.

Optional configuration
3.6.1
Hand-release (optional)
To temporarily release the brake when there is no electricity available, a hand-release function is available
as an option. The hand-release function can also be retrofitted.
