3.3.7 Plugs and Socket
Plugs and sockets are produced from POLYAMIDE 6 as well as PC/ABS.
The main characteristics of these
materials are:
- excellent impact resistance combined with high rigidity and solidity,
- high thermal stability (self-extinguishing),
- very good insulating qualities,
- high disruptive strength,
- high abrasion resistance,
- high weathering resistance,
- very good chemical resistance to various chemicals,
- free from cadmium and halogen (fluorine, chlorine, bromine, jodine,
astatine),
- black color.

3.3.8 Brake
The spring-applied brake is a single-disk brake with two friction surfaces. Several compression springs
create the braking torque by friction locking. The brake is released electromagnetically.
Figure 16 “Double brake version”
The spring-applied brake is designed for the conversion of mechanical work and kinetic energy into heat. For
operating speed. Due to the static brake torque, the brake can hold loads without speed difference.
Emergency braking is possible at high speed. The more friction work, the higher the wear.
