Functional Features:
- Spring-applied: brakes engage on power loss (fail-safe)
- Electrically released: requires 24 V DC to disengage
- Friction disc material for consistent holding torque
- Integrated connector for drive interface
Advantages:
- Safety-critical holding without continuous power
- Fast release for high-cycle applications
- Compatible with Kollmorgen AKD and AKM drives
Applicable Industries:
Vertical axis machines, robotic arms, conveyor systems, packaging equipment, medical devices (patient positioning)
Material Composition:
- Housing: Cast aluminum
- Friction disc: Sintered metal composite
- Coil: Copper windings on steel bobbin
- Springs: Stainless steel
Installation Requirements:
- Mount between motor and load using standard B5 bolt pattern
- Wire brake control to drive brake output terminal
- Set brake release delay in drive parameter to match motor acceleration
Usage Notes:
- Never bypass brake for vertical load applications
- Check brake gap every 6 months (adjust if > 0.5 mm)
- Use only 24 V DC supply; overvoltage destroys coil
