Possible applications of the INTORQ spring-applied brake
|Humidity: no restrictions
– In case of formation of condensed water and moisture: provide for appropriate
ventilation to ensure that all components will dry quickly.
|Ambient temperature:
-5 °C to +40 °C
|At high humidity and low temperature:
– Take measures to protect armature plate and rotor from freezing.
The spring-applied brake is designed for the conversion of mechanical work and kinetic energy
into heat. Due to the static brake torque, the brake can hold loads without speed difference.
Emergency braking is possible at high speed. The more friction work, the higher t he wear,
(operating speeds 16).
The BFK455 spring-applied brake is a double disc brake with four friction surfaces. The braking
torque is generated within two electrically and mechanically separated braking circuits by
means of several compression springs (1.2) with friction locking. The braking circuits are
released electromagnetically. Due to its division into two braking circuits, the brake is
especially suitable for applications in the fields of lift technology and stage machinery. The
brake is selected on the basis of the characteristic torque for one braking circuit. The second
braking circuit meets the requirement for redundancy.
The braking circuits are divided by two separate armature plates (2) with the respective
compression springs (1.2) assigned and electromagnetic coils (8). The separate connecting
cables for each stator and armature plate render it possible to switch each braking circuit
individually, 36.

j | BA 14.0196 | 05/2013
Technical data3
The switching status of the spring-appliedbrake is monitored by one microswitch (16) for each
braking circuit. The associated switchgear rectifies the supply voltage (AC voltage) which is
reduced after a short time while the brake is in the released state. Thus the mean electrical
power of the brake is reduced.
The stator (1) is designed in temperature class F. The temperature limit of the coils (8) is
155 °C. The BFK455 spring-applied brake is designed for a maximum operating time of 60 %
with a reduction of the holding current.
During braking, the rotor (3), which is axially movable on the hub (4), is pressed against
the friction surface - via the armature plates (2) - by means of the springs (1.2). The
asbestos-free friction linings ensure a high braking torque with low wear. The braking
torque is transmitted between hub (4) and rotor (3) via the splines.
3.1.3Brake release
In braked state, there is an air gap ”s
release the brake, the coil of the stator (1) is excited with the DC voltage provided. The
magnetic force generated attracts the armature plate (2) towards the stator (1) against the
spring force. The rotor (3) is then released and can rotate freely.
3.1.4Release monitoring
The spring-applied brake is equipped with one microswitch (16) each per braking circuit
for monitoring the switching status. When the braking circuits are released, the
microswitches (16) change over. This means that the operation of the drive against the
applied brake can be excluded. The microswitches can be connected both as NO and NC
contacts.
” between the stator (1) and the armature plate (2). To
L
For checking the correct functioning of the microswitches, we recommend to check the
switching status (see Tab. 6) both when the brake is released and when the brake is
applied.
3.1.5Encapsulated design (optional)
This design not only avoids the penetration of spray water and dust, but also the spreading
of abrasion particles outside the brake. This is achieved by:
|a cover seal over the armature plate and rotor.

3.1.6Project planning notes
|The brakes are dimensioned in such a way that the given characteristic torques are
reached safely after a short run-in process.
|Due to the fluctuating properties of the organic friction linings used and the alternating
environmental conditions, deviations of the given braking torques may occur. These
must be considered by corresponding safety measures in the dimensioning process.
Especially with humidity and alternating temperatures, an increased breakaway torque
may occur after a long downtime.
|If the brake is used as a pure holding brake without dynamic load, the friction lining
must be reactivated regularly.

Engagement time
The transition from brake-torque free state to holding braking torque is not free of time lags.
Short brake engagement times are vital for emergency braking. DC switching together with
a suitable spark suppressor must therefore be provided.
|The engagement times are valid for DC switching with a spark suppressor.
– Spark suppressors are available for the rated voltages.
– Connect the spark suppressors in parallel to the contact. If this is not admissible for
safety reasons, e.g. with hoists and lifts, the spark suppressor can also be
connected in parallel to the brake coil.
– Circuit proposals: 36
|If the drive system is operated with a frequency inverter so that the brake will not be
deenergised before the motor is at standstill, AC switching is also possible (not
applicable to emergency braking).
Note!
If the drive system is equipped with a frequency inverter, the engagement times
are greater by a factor of 5, approximately, connection 35.
Disengagement time
The disengagement time is the same for DC and AC switching. The disengagement times
specified always refer to the control with overexcitation.

3.5Emission
Electromagnetic compatibility
Note!
If an INTORQ rectifier is used for the DC switching of the spring-applied brake and if the
operating frequency exceeds five switching operations per minute, the use of a mains filter
is required.
If the spring-applied brake uses a rectifier of another manufacturer for the switching, it
may become necessary to connect a spark suppressor in parallel with the AC voltage.
Spark suppressors are available on request, depending on the coil voltage.
The user must ensure compliance with EMC Directive 2004/108/EC using
appropriate controls and switching devices.
Heat
Since the brake converts kinetic energy as well as mechanical and electrical energy into heat,
the surface temperature varies considerably, depending on the operating conditions and
possible heat dissipation. Under unfavourable conditions, the surface temperature can reach
130 _C.
Noise
The switching noise during engagement and disengagement varies depending on the air gap
” and the brake size.
”s
L
Depending on the natural oscillation after installation, operating conditions and state of the
friction faces, the brake may squeak during braking.
Others
The abrasion of the friction parts produces dust.

BEG-561- -
Bridge/half-wave rectifiers are used for the supply of electromagnetic spring-applied DC
brakes which have been released for operation with such rectifiers. Any other use is only
permitted with the explicit written approval of INTORQ.
Once a set overexcitation time has elapsed, the bridge/half-wave rectifiers switch over from
bridge rectification to half-wave rectification.
|Check the brake regularly during operation. Take special care of:
– unusual noises or temperatures
– loose fixing elements
– the condition of the electrical cables.
j | BA 14.0196 | 05/2013
|The armature plate must be attracted and the rotor must move without residual
torque.
|Measure the DC voltage at the brake.
– The DC voltage measured after the overexcitation time (see bridge/half-wave
rectifier, 36) must correspond to the holding voltage (see Tab. 5). A ±10 %
deviation is permissible.
|In the event of failures, refer to the troubleshooting table in chapter 8. If the fault
cannot be eliminated, please contact the aftersales service.

7.1Wear of spring-applied brakes
INTORQ spring-applied brakes are wear-resistant and designed for long maintenance
intervals. The friction lining and the mechanical brake components are subject to
function-related wear. For safe and trouble-free operation, the brake must be checked at
regular intervals or, if necessary, be replaced, 43.
Stop!
Braking torque reduction
The air gap must not be re-adjusted after it has been correctly adjusted during
the initial installation of the brake on the motor! This could result in a reduction
of the braking torque.
The following table describes the different causes of wear and their effects on the components
of the spring-applied brake. The important influencing factors must be quantified so that the
service life of the rotor and brake can be calculated and that the maintenance intervals to be
prescribed can be specified precisely. The most important factors in this context are the
applied friction energy, the initial speed of braking and the operating frequency. If several of
the causes of friction lining wear occur in an application at the same time, the influencing
factors are to be added together when the amount of wear is calculated.

7.2Inspections
To ensure safe and trouble-free operation, spring-applied brakes must be checked and
maintained at regular intervals. Servicing can be made easier if good accessibility of the
brakes is provided in the plant. This must be considered when installing the drives in the plant.
Primarily, the necessary maintenance intervals for industrial brakes result from the load during
operation. When calculating the maintenance interval, all causes for wear must be taken into
account, 42. For brakes with low loads such as holding brakes with emergency stop, we
recommend a regular inspection at a fixed time interval. To reduce the cost, the inspection
can be carried out along with other regular maintenance work in the plant i f necessary.
If the brakes are not maintained, failures, production losses or damage to the system may
occur. Therefore, a maintenance concept adapted to the particular operating conditions and
brake loads must be defined for every application. For the spring-applied brakes, the
maintenance intervals and maintenance operations listed in the below table must be provided.
The maintenance operations must be carried out as described in the detailed descriptions.

Note!
Brakes with defective armature plates, cheese head screws, springs or counter
friction faces must always be replaced completely.
Generally observe the following for inspections and maintenance works:
| Remove oil and grease linked impurities using brake cleaning agents, if
necessary, replace brake after identifying the cause of the contamination.
Dirt deposits in the air gap between stator and armature plate impair the
function of the brake and must be removed.
| After replacing the rotor, the original braking torque will not be reached until
the run-in operation of the friction surfaces has been completed. After
replacing the rotor, run-in armature plates and counter friction faces have an
increased initial rate of wear.
