Calculation example
The known values are:
• Average braking power: 11.8W
• Deceleration ramp: 0.92s
• 6 brake applications per hour
Calculating the energy from the power of the deceleration ramp:
W P t W s J= × = × =11 8 0 92 10 9. . .
The specified deceleration ramp in seconds refers to a speed change of 3000min

.

= 1.5s.
For the deceleration ramp of 1.5s, you can use deceleration ramp [3] (0.2s) in the
diagram. Use the characteristic curve with the shorter deceleration ramp because a
shorter deceleration ramp means more braking energy.
The diagram permits 310 J of braking energy for the 0.2 s deceleration ramp at
6cycles per hour. In this case, the required 10.9J can be dissipated via BW1.
