Brakes - Technical Data

Failsafe, Holding Brake

The holding brake is designed to provide static holding torque to the servo motor shaft with the brake coil de-energized.

• The brake must first be released (coil energized) prior to commanding servo motor rotation as determined by its drop-out time.
• The brake is intended for holding or parking of a stationary servo motor.
  • It is not intended for dynamic braking.
• There should be absolutely no motion of the rotor when power is removed from the brake coil.

Emergency Stops

The brake can be used for a limited number of emergency stop conditions.

• Such use will eventually cause wear, leading to eventual malfunction of the brake.
• The number of emergency stops strongly depends on applied load.
• Contact Kollmorgen for proper calculation of energy that needs to be absorbed during emergency stops in application.

Servo Motor Contamination

Contamination of the servo motor internal compartment by oil or other foreign materials results in failure of the brake.

Check the suitability of servo motor sealing for the working environment.
