Brakes
CAUTION!
They may not be used as safety elements (parcularly with hoist axes) without addional
measures being implemented.
The brakes used are not fail-safe brakes in the sense that prospecve disrupve factors, e.g.
oil ingress, can lead to a reducon in torque!
▶
The brakes must only be used as holding brakes for holding the axes at a standsll or in the
deenergised state.
▶
The brake must not be used as a service brake.
CAUTION!
If no suitable voltage (incorrect value, incorrect polarity) is applied to the brake, the brake will
be applied and can be overheated and destroyed by the motor connuing to rotate.
Motor supply cables
If long motor supply cables are used, pay aenon to the ohmic voltage drop along the cable
and compensate for it with a higher voltage at the input end of the cable.
The following applies to Lenze system cables:

NOTICE
▶
The brakes become acve when the supply voltage has been switched o (closed-circuit
principle).
▶
When using the brakes purely as holding brakes, virtually no wear occurs on the fricon
surfaces.
▶
The fricon surfaces must always be free from oil and grease because even small amounts
of grease or oil will considerably reduce the braking torque.
NOTICE
In case of these permanent magnet brakes, the rated torque applies solely as holding torque
at standsll.
▶
Emergency stops at higher speeds are possible but high switching energy increases wear on
the fricon surfaces and the hub.
▶
During braking from full motor speed, e .g. in the event of emergency stops, the braking
torque is signicantly reduced.
