Function
This brake is an electrically releasable spring-applied brake with a rotating brake disk (rotor) that is
equipped on both sides with friction linings. In its de-energized state, the rotor is clamped with braking
force applied by pressure springs between the armature plate and a counter friction surface. This corre-
sponds to a fail-safe functionality.
The brake torque applied to the rotor is transferred to the input shaft via a hub that has axial gear teeth.
The brake can be used as a holding brake, as a service brake, and as an emergency stop brake for high
speeds.
The asbestos-free friction linings ensure a safe braking torque and low wear.
To release the brake, the armature plate is released electromagnetically from the rotor. The rotor, shifted
axially and balanced by the spring force, can rotate freely.
