7.4 Silencing of the brakes
The used noise dampening has been adjusted at the factory. However the
noise dampening is subject to a certain aging dependent on the application
or operational conditions (switching frequency, torque adjustment, natural
drive vibration).
The brake must be completely exchanged, if the noise behaviour of the brake
rises to an inadmissible level.
An exchange of the damping elements is only possible at the manufacturer.
