5.4.4 Using the Holding Brake
The holding brake is used when a servodrive controls a vertical axis. In other words,
a servomotor with brake prevents the movable part from shifting due to the force of
gravity when system power goes OFF.
Note: The brake built into the servomotor SGM H with brakes is a de-energization brake, which is
used only to hold and cannot be used for braking. Use the holding brake only to hold a stopped
motor. Brake torque is at least 120% of the rated motor torque.
Wiring Example
Use the servo amplifier contact output signal /BK and the brake power supply to
form a brake ON/OFF circuit. The following diagram shows a standard wiring
example.
*CN1-1 /BK+ and CN1-2 /BK- are the output terminals allocated at parameter Pn50F.2.
This output signal controls the brake when using a servomotor with a brake and does
