Calculating the braking time
The values for calculation are provided in Chapter "Data sheets and characteristics (Page 95)".
Braking time t
B
= J
tot
• n / (9.55 • M
Br
) t
B
/ s = braking time
n / r/min = operating speed
M
Br
/ Nm = average braking torque
Moment of iner‐
tia
J
Tot
= J
Mot
+ J
Ext
J
Tot
/ kgm
2
= moment of inertia
J
Mot
/ kgm
2
= motor moment of inertia
J
Ext
/ kgm
2
= external moment of inertia
Note
In determining the run-on distance, consider the friction of the mechanical transmission
elements (included in the calculation as an allowance in M
B
) and the switching delay times of the
contactors.
To avoid mechanical damage to the drive, mount mechanical stops at the end of the absolute
traversing range of the machine axes.
