4.3.2 Brake types<br />

Brakes with different principles of operation are used:<br />

• Permanent-magnet brake<br />

• Spring-operated brake<br />

Both of the brake types operate according to the closed-circuit principle.<br />

Mode of operation of a permanent-magnet brake<br />

Motor Components (Options)<br />

Holding brake<br />

The magnetic field of the permanent magnets results in a pulling force on the brake armature<br />

disk. This means that in the no-current condition, the brake is closed and the motor shaft is<br />

held.<br />

When 24 V DC rated voltage is connected to the brake, the solenoid – through which current<br />

flows – establishes an opposing field. This neutralizes the force of the permanent magnets.<br />

Permanent magnet brakes have a proportionally stiff connection to the motor rotor. This is the<br />

reason that this brake is almost without any play.<br />

Caution<br />

<strong>Motors</strong> with integrated permanent-magnet holding brake cannot be subject to axial forces at<br />

the shaft end! This applies when installing the system and during operation.<br />

Mode of operation of a spring-operated brake<br />

For a spring-operated brake, instead of the magnetic field of a permanent magnet, the force<br />

of a spring is used.<br />

In order for a spring-operated brake to operate, the brake armature disk must be able to<br />

axially move. Therefore, torsional backlash cannot be avoided. When the brake is closed, the<br />

motor shaft can move by up to 1°.<br />

Effect for hanging axes:<br />

The motor brakes a hanging (suspended) axis electrically. If the brake is applied and the<br />

power is then disconnected, it is possible that the load could continue to move the motor<br />

shaft. In this case, the maximum possible motion corresponds to the above mentioned play in<br />

the gear meshing. The motion is appropriately stepped-up or stepped-down using a mounted<br />

gearbox.<br />

Danger<br />

Applications involving holding brakes for hanging/suspended axes must be especially carefully<br />

investigated as these represent a high potential hazard.<br />

For motors with spring-operated brake, it must be carefully checked that the brake is suitable<br />

due to the rotational play.<br />

For motors with spring-operated brakes, axial forces are permissible the same as for versions<br />

without brake.<br />
