Holding brake

All motors are optionally available with a holding brake. A spring applied brake (24V DC)
is integrated into the motors. When this brake is de-energized it blocks the rotor.
Functional safety in case of hanging loads (vertical axes) can be ensured only by
using an additional, external, mechanical brake.
If the brake is released then the rotor can be moved without a remanent torque.
The holding brakes are designed as standstill brakes and are not suited for repea-
ted operational braking. In the case of frequent, operational braking, premature
wear and failure of the holding brake is to be expected.
The motor length increases when a holding brake is mounted.
The holding brake can be controlled directly by the servo amplifier (no personal safety !),
the winding is suppressed in the servo amplifier — additional circuitry is not required (see
instructions manual of the servo amplifier).
If the holding brake is not controlled directly by the servo amplifier, an additional wiring
(e.g. varistor) is required. Consult our support department.
