For resistance measurement, observe the data on the brake nameplate.
Trouble
Possible cause
Remedy
Brake does not release,
Air gap is not zero
Coil is interrupted
Measure the resistance of the coil with a multimeter:
•
Compare measured resistance with rated resistance.
•
If resistance is too high, replace the spring-applied brake completely
Coil has interturn fault or short
circuit to ground
Measure the resistance of the coil with a multimeter:
•
Compare measured resistance with rated resistance.
•
If the resistance is too low, replace the stator completely.
Check coil for short circuit to ground with a multimeter:
•
Replace the spring-applied brake completely in case of short circuit to
ground.
Wiring defective or incorrect
Check and correct wiring:
•
Check cable for continuity with a multimeter.
•
Replace defective cable.
Rectifier defective or incorrect
Measure the DC voltage at the rectifier with a multimeter.
If DC voltage is zero:
•
Measure AC voltage at the rectifier.
•
If AC voltage is zero:
•
Switch on voltage
•
Check fuse
•
Check wiring
If AC voltage is ok:
•
Check rectifier
•
Replace defective rectifier
Check coil for interturn fault or short circuit to ground
If the rectifier is repeatedly faulty, replace the spring-applied brake
completely, even if no interturn fault or short circuit to earth can be
measured. The error may only occur when the temperature rises.
Microswitch wired incorrectly
Check and correct wiring of microswitch.
Microswitch incorrectly set
Replace stator completely and complain to the manufacturer about the
setting of the microswitch.
Air gap s
L
too large
Readjust air gap
Rotor cannot rotate freely
Air gap s
L
too small
Check air gap s
L
and readjust if necessary.
Rotor thickness too small
Rotor was not replaced in time
Replace rotor
Voltage too high
Brake voltage does not match
rectifier
Adjust rectifier and brake voltage to each other.
Voltage too low
Brake voltage does not match
rectifier
Adjust rectifier and brake voltage to each other.
Diode in rectifier defective
Replace defective rectifier with suitable undamaged rectifier
AC voltage is not mains voltage
Fuse is missing or defective
Select a connection where the fuse is not removed and is ok.
