BCSD-60/116 Digital Brushless AC Servo Drive system - Ref. 1809
4.3.4. Setting for Holding Brakes
The holding brake is used when the servodrive controls a vertical axis.
A servomotor with brake prevents the movable part from shifting due to gravity when the servodrive power
goes OFF. (Refer to 4.1.4 Trial Operation for Servomotor with Brakes.)
1. The brake built into the servomotor with brakes is a deenergization brake, which is used to hold and
cannot be used for braking. Use the holding brake only to hold a stopped servomotor.
2. When operating using only a speed loop, turn OFF the servo and set the input reference to 0 V when
the brake is applied.
1. Wiring Example.
Use the servodrive sequence output signal /BK and the brake power supply to form a brake ON/OFF
circuit.
The following diagram shows a standard wiring example.
