6.5 Brake design
Designation
General
When selecting the brake, the nominal holding force must be
greater than or equal to the required holding force.
FNom ≥ Freq. [N]
Design for dynamic braking (EMERGENCY STOP)
As security, at least the weight of the load to be held
+ 100 % reserve must be provided for.
The greater the ratio of the nominal holding force to the re-
quired holding force, the shorter the stopping distance is (under
identical technical conditions)
The minimum holding force required can be calculated using
the following formula:
Freq.
= m x g [N]
0.5
Design for static holding (clamping)
As security, at least the weight of the mass to be held +20 %
reserve must be provided for.
The minimum holding force required can be calculated using
the following formula:
Freq.
= m x g [N]
0.8
The stopping distance / stopping time of the
load to be braked is strongly dependent on the following influ-
ences:
• Switching time of the control unit (signal processing)
• Switching time of the control valve
• Switching time of the brake
• Cross-section and length of cables
The greater the sum of the switching times the later
the deceleration of the load (due to longer
lasting acceleration). The stopping distance /
stopping time becomes longer (with constant holding force).
