GLOBE RM410 PISTON AIR MOTOR MANUAL| INCLUDING AUXILIARIES | ATEX Certified
»
Check the brake before installation and ope-
ration to see if it’s not damaged.
»
The brake must be mounted to a GLOBE Pis-
ton Airmotor of equivalent size (for instance:
RM110 Brake on RM110 Motor) including the
correct piping and control valves supplied by
GLOBE.
»
Any products that are driven by the brake
must meet appropriate ATEX approval as well
to be used in a hazardous area.
»
The brake should be connected to the earth
with a maximum earth resistance of 1Mohm.
The brake can be earthed by connecting the
motor to a base plate/gearbox etc.
»
The ambient temperature range of the brake
(-10°C to +60°C) should be observed at all
times.
»
When mounting the brake on a construction
or when something is mounted on the shaft
of the brake. Make sure that the alignment is
straight to prevent too much force on the shaft.
»
Air supply to the brake should always be
taken from non-hazardous area.
»
In case the brake is exposed to high vibrati-
ons during operation and when not in opera-
tion, please contact GLOBE. High vibrations
might lead to increased inspection interval of
the bearings.
»
It’s important that no dust or debris can accu-
mulate at the output shaft. This may damage
the shaft seal.
»
It is not allowed to use the brake in an explo-
sive environment when the input side of the
brake can get in contact with the explosive
environment.
»
Specific Condition of Use
: When the motor is
used with brake assembly, it is mandatory to
use valve type GLOBE APPV3214 to control
the brake. The pressure setting of the valve
is preset, marked on the valve and shall not
be changed. The customer/end-user has to
inform GLOBE prior to the delivery about the
running pressure on which the motor will run.
»
Because of wear on the brake pads the hol-
ding torque can become lower. It is possible
to adjust the holding torque to the required
design torque with the brake adjusters. The
procedure to reset the holding torque must be
followed strictly. This procedure can be found
in the chapter OPERATION in this manual
»
The brakes are designed to stop a load and
are a service brake. To comply with ATEX the
brake may not be used as a dynamic brake. It
may only be used as a stopping and parking
brake and it is not to be used to control the
speed (dynamic braking).
»
The internal volume (except the volume in the
brake piston) in the brake is vented by means
of a non-return valve. Do not remove this not
return valve. In the cross sectional drawings
the location of this non-return valve can be
found.

WARNING: POTENTIAL ELECTROSTATIC CHARGING HAZARD
Before use clean only with damp cloth. Avoid electrostatic charging mechanisms
stronger than manual rubbing. Do not subject the equipment to external conditions
that could cause build-up of electrostatic charges.
