8. Safety
The brakes described in these Operating Instructions have been designed and built on the basis of an analysis
of hazards and in accordance with the requirements of the applicable harmonised standards and technical
specifications. They correspond to the state of the art and provide maximum safety. However, safety hazards
can only be avoided if the user of the equipment takes adequate precautions and makes sure that the safety
instructions are strictly adhered to.
The user is required to ensure that:
•
the brakes are only used in accordance with their intended use (see Section 2 "Product description").
•
the brakes are in perfect working order and checked at regular intervals.
•
a complete and fully legible copy of these Operating Instructions is kept available at the place of use of
the brakes at all times.
•
start-up, maintenance and repair work is only done by authorised and suitably qualified personnel.
•
such personnel are kept informed on all relevant occupational safety and environmental protection issues
and familiar with these Operating Instructions and with the safety information contained herein.
•
the brakes are not exposed to other strong magnetic fields.
8.1 Intended use
The brakes described in these Operating Instructions are intended to be assembled with machines, in
particular electric motors, for use on industrial plant. Operation in potentially explosive atmospheres or
locations requiring flame-proofing is not allowed. The brakes must be used in accordance with the operating
requirements detailed in this manual. The rated power limits specified herein must not be exceeded.
8.2 General safety information
Brakes fitted to motors feature hazardous live components and rotating parts and may exhibit hot surfaces.
Any work associated with the transport, connection, start-up and periodical maintenance of the brakes must
be carried out by authorised and suitably qualified specialist personnel in accordance with EN 50110-1,
EN 50110-2, IEC 60364-1. Failure to observe safety, operating and maintenance instructions may cause
serious personal injury and severe damage to the equipment. Whenever special measures are required in
accordance with the instructions contained herein, such measures should be agreed with the brake
manufacturer before the machinery into which the brake is to be incorporated is set up. Should any queries
arise with respect to torques, torque variations, installation positions, wear, wear reserve, switching work,
break-in conditions, release range, ambient conditions and the like, please contact Kendrion (Villingen) and
ask for clarification before using the brake. Retrofitting or modification work to be carried out on the brake is
subject to the approval from Kendrion (Villingen). Accident prevention regulations applying to the specific field
of application of the brake must be strictly observed. The brakes described in this manual are
not
designed
for use as
"safety brakes"
. This means that torque reductions caused by factors beyond the user's control
cannot be excluded.
