Overview
SIMOGEAR geared motors can be supplied with spring-
operated disk brakes in order to reduce the motor run-on time or
to hold loads, for example.
Our MODULOG modular system allows several brake sizes to
be used with one motor frame size. This chapter specifies the
assignment to the motor frame sizes and possible brake options.
■
Design and principle of operation
Single-disk, spring-operated brakes have two friction surfaces.
When the brake is in a zero current state, a braking torque is
generated using several springs.
The brake is released electromagnetically. When the motor
brakes, the rotor which can be axially shifted on the hub or the
shaft is pressed via the armature disk against the friction surface
by means of the springs. In the braked state, there is a gap
between the armature disk and the solenoid assembly.
To release the brake, the solenoid is energized with DC voltage.
The resulting magnetic force attracts the armature disk onto the
solenoid assembly against the spring force.
The spring force is then no longer applied to the rotor, which can
now rotate freely.
