Chapter 4 Motor shaft retention brake(RSF-5B)
The RSF supermini series provides an actuator with a motor shaft retention brake as standard (Option
symbol: B), which can meet the fail-safe requirement without any additional brake.
The brake has 2 coils; one for releasing brake, and another for retaining the released state. By
controlling the currents through the coils, power consumption during retention of brake release can be
reduced.

4-2 Controlling the brake power supply
4-2-1 Using a relay cable (Recommended method)
The optional relay cables for brakes (EWA-B
!!
-JST03-TMC) incorporate a circuit that controls the
brake current.
You don’t have to control the brake current, so it is recommended to use the actuator with a brake in
combination with a relay cable for brakes.
If the relay cable for brakes is used, brake can be operated by turning on/off the brake power supply.
The power supply for the brake (that can output 24VDC±10%) shall be provided by the customer. Use
a power supply unit that can output the current during release as described in “4-1 Motor shaft retention
brake specifications.”
The supply duration of the current consumption during release is 0.5sec or less at 24VDC
±
10%.
