13.5 Holding Brakes
Optional. Required for holding the servo axis when the machine is in the
de-energized state.
DANGER
Hazardous movements! Persons endangered by
falling or descending axes!!
⇒ The serially delivered motor holding brake does not
suffice to ensure overall personal protection!
⇒ Ensure personal protection by superordinate failsafe
measures:
⇒ Block off the hazardous range by means of a safety
fence or a safety screen.
⇒ Additionally secure vertical axes to prevent them from
falling or descending after having switched off the
motor, for instance as follows:
– lock the vertical axis mechanically,
– provide an external braking / collecting / clamping
device, or
– ensure proper weight compensation of the axis.
The holding brake is operated according to the “electrically releasing”
principle. In the de-energized state, a magnetic force acts upon the
brake armature disk. This causes the brake to close and to hold the axis.
By applying 24 V
DC, the permanent magnetic field is compensated by
the electrically generated magnetic field: the brake opens.
