Working principle

The PRECIMA spring loaded brakes are electromagnetically actuated single disk brakes with two friction surfaces.

  • The braking power is applied by means of pressure springs.
  • The braking torque is generated in the currentless condition.
  • Ventilation (releasing) of the brake is effected electromagnetically.

In the absence of current, the compression springs (5), present in the magnet body (1) are pushing against the axially movable armature plate (2) which traps the brake rotor (3) against the motor housing surface (8). The brake torque is transferred to the shaft via the rotor and splined hub (4). By applying direct current voltage to the coil, a magnetic field is produced in the magnet body (1). This magnetic field attracts the armature plate (2) across air gap “a” and allows the rotor to rotate and neutralize the brake torque.

Assembly

The spring loaded brake is supplied ready to be mounted.
The air gaps for FLC, FDW are fixed without adjustment.
The air gap of FDB, FDD and FDR brakes is preset before leaving our factory, they can be adjusted later without removing the brake from the motor.

The range of PRECIMA spring loaded brakes

  • FDB  Series:  classic solid fail- safe brake in several variations for universal use available.
  • FLC  Series: easy to assemble, low cost Holding Brake für applications with limited friction work.
  • FDD Series: low noise double brakes for applications with high safety requirements
  • FDR Series: double friction rotor brake for high torque requirements on limited mounting space

Accessories

For triggering halfwave and bridge rectifiers, fast acting rectifiers, and current
detection relays are available.
