Braking and release
During the braking procedure, the inner and outer springs use the armature plate to press the rotor (which
can be shifted axially on the hub) against the friction surface. The asbestos-free friction linings ensure high
braking torque and low wear. The braking torque is transmitted between the hub and the rotor via gear
teeth.
When the brakes are applied, an air gap (s
L
) is present between the stator and the armature plate. To re-
lease the brake, the coil of the stator is energised with the DC voltage provided. The resulting magnetic
flux works against the spring force to draw the armature plate to the stator. This releases the rotor from the
spring force and allows it to rotate freely.
3.5
Brake torque reduction
For the basic module E, the spring force and thus the brake torque can be reduced by unscrewing the
central torque adjustment ring.

Optional configuration
3.6.1
Hand-release (optional)
To temporarily release the brake when there is no electricity available, a hand-release function is available
as an option. The hand-release function can be retrofitted.
