Spring-applied brake - Slim Line

The VARIO LINE includes DC spring-pressure single-disc brakes, which can be matched to the individual application due to a wide range of variants. Electromagnetically-operated spring-pressure brakes build up the braking torque when the current is switched off. By means of the electromagnetic force or an additionally mounted hand lifting device, the braking effect can be neutralized. Fitting dimensions and the grading of the type series of the VARIO LINE are matched to IEC motors.

The Classic Line includes DC spring-pressure single-disc and multi-disc brakes which, due to their robust design and the variable connection technology, meet the requirements of demanding applications. Electromagnetically-operated spring-applied brakes build up the braking torque when the current is switched off and the electromagnetic force is therefore neutralized.

The EEX Line includes spring-pressure single-disc brakes provided with explosion protection for explosion-hazardous areas. The spring-pressure brake with firedamp protection is suitable for underground excavations with danger of firedamp. In spring-pressure brakes with explosion protection, those parts which might ignite explosive mixtures are incorporated in a housing. If the mixture inside the housing explodes, the latter prevents a transfer of the explosion to the mixtures surrounding the housing. The brake is equipped with four thermal circuit breakers and one micro-switch. The micro-switch prevents starting against the unlifted brake. The thermal circuit breakers are series-connected with the micro-switch and interrupt the control circuit of the machine as soon as there is an inadmissibly high temperature at the brake. The brake is seawater-resistant. By means of the attached hand lifting feature, the braking effect can be manually neutralized.

The Compact Line includes spring-pressure single-disc brakes that can be mounted as complete units to the motor with very little assembly work. The compact design is of advantage when limited space complicates mounting. Electromagnetically-operated spring-applied brakes build up the braking torque when the current is switched off.
