10.3.1 Dynamic brake operation
(1) Calculation of coasting distance
Fig. 10.3 shows the pattern in which the servo motor comes to a stop when the dynamic brake is
operated. Use equation 10.2 to calculate an approximate coasting distance to a stop. The dynamic
brake time constant τ varies with the servo motor and machine operation speeds. (Refer to (2) in this
section.)
A working part generally has a friction force. Therefore, actual coasting distance will be shorter than a
maximum coasting distance calculated with the following equation.
