Working Principle
The PRECIMA spring-loaded fail-safe brakes are electromagnetically actuated single disk brakes with two friction surfaces.
- The braking power is applied by means of pressure springs.
- The braking torque is generated in the condition when there is no current supply.
- Release of the brake is effected electromagnetically.
In the absence of current, the compression springs (5), present in the magnet body (1) pushes against the axially movable armature plate (2) which locks the brake rotor (3) against the motor housing surface (8). The brake torque is transferred to the shaft via the rotor and splined hub (4). By applying direct current voltage to the coil, a magnetic field is produced in the magnet body (1). This magnetic field attracts the armature plate (2) across air gap “a” and allows the rotor to rotate and neutralize the brake torque.
Assembly
The spring-loaded brake is supplied ready to be mounted.
The air gaps for FLC, FDW & FDX brakes are fixed without adjustment.
The air gaps of FDB, FDD & FDR brakes are preset before leaving our factory, they can be adjusted later without removing the brakes from the motors.
The range of PRECIMA spring-loaded brakes
- FDB Series: classic solid fail-safe brakes in several variations for universal use
- FLC Series: easy to assemble, low cost Holding Brake for applications with limited friction work
- FDD Series: low noise double brakes for applications with high safety requirements
- FDR Series: double friction rotor brake for high torque requirements on limited mounting space
- FDW Series: IP66 encapsulated brake for outdoor applications or use in aggressive environment
- FDX Series: IP67 encapsulated brake for use in very rough environments like offshore or sea climate
Accessories
For converting alternating current (AC), which periodically reverses direction, to direct current (DC), which flows in only one direction, half-wave and bridge brake rectifiers, fast acting rectifiers, and current detection relays are available.
