The spring-applied brake is designed for converting mechanical work and kinetic energy into heat energy.
Due to the static braking torque, loads can be held at standstill. Emergency braking is possible at high speed
of rotation. The wear increases as the switching energy increases.
INTORQ | BA 14.0199 | 08/201612
Technical specifications
The spring-applied brakes BFK470 are electrically releas able single-disc brakes with two friction surfaces.
When de-energized, both of the rotor’s friction surfaces are tightened by the force of the compression springs
between the armature plate and the flange. The braking torque is applied over the friction radius of the rotor;
it is transferred to the shaft via a hub that has axial gear teeth. When the brakes are applied, an air gap "s
is present between the stator and the armature plate. To release the brake, the stator´s coil is energized with
DC voltage. The resulting magnetic flux works against the spring force to draw the armature plate to the stator. This releases the rotor from the spring force and allows it to rotate freely.
3.1.2Brakes
During the braking procedure, the pressure springs (1.2) use the armature plate (2) to press the rotor (3)
(which can be shifted axially on the hub (4)) against the friction surface. The asbestos-free friction linings
ensure high braking torque and low wear. The braking torque is transmitted between the hub (4) and the rotor
(3) via gear teeth.
NOTICE
Due to the structural design of the stator, the air gap cannot be installed downstream. If the
wear limit is reached, the rotor must be replaced.

To release the brake, the coil of the stator (1.1) is energ ized with the DC voltage provided. The resulting mag netic flux works against the spring force to draw the armature plate (2) to the stator (1.1). This releases the
rotor (3) from the spring force and allows it to rotate freely
3.1.4Project planning notes
❚The brakes are dimensioned in such a way that the given rated torques are reached safely after a short
run-in process.
❚However, as the organic frictio n linings used do not all have identical properties and because environ-
mental conditions can vary, deviations from the specified braking torques are possible. These must be
taken into account in the form of appropriate dimensioning tolerances. Increased breakaway torque is
common in particular after long downtimes in humid environments where temperatures vary.
❚If the brake is used as a pure holding brake without dynamic load, the friction lining must be reactivated
regularly.

❚ The minimum thread depth of the end shield must be maintained! Tab. 3.
❚ If the required thread depth is no t maintained, the fixing screws may run on to the root. This
has the effect that the required pre-load force is no longer established – the brake is no
longer securely fastened!

Engagement time
The transition from brake-torque free state to holding brakin g torque is not free of time lags.
❚The engagement time s 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 switching 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: 25
❚The engagement time s are approx. 10 times longer with AC switching.
-Connection: 25
Disengagement time
The disengagement time is the same for DC and AC switchin g. The disengag ement t ime can be shorte ned
by special equipment for fast-response excitation or over-excitation.

With high speeds of rotation and switching energy, the wear increases strongly, because very high temperatures occur at the friction surfaces for a short time.

Electromagnetic compatibility
If an INTORQ rectifier is used for the DC switching of the spring-applied brake and if the switching 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.

.
NOTICE
The user must ensure compliance with EMC Directive 2004/108/EC u sing appro priate contro ls
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, braking torque
and brake size.
Depending on the natural oscillation after installa tion, operating condit ions and state of the frictio n surfaces,
the brake may squeak during braking.
Others
The abrasion of the friction parts produces dust.

BEG-561--
The bridge-half-wave rectifiers are used to supply electromagnetic DC spring-applied brakes which are approved for the use with such rectifiers. Other use is only permitted with the approval of INTORQ.
Once a set over-excitation time has elapsed, the bridge-half-wave rectifiers switch over from bridge rectification to half-wave rectification.
Terminals 3 and 4 are located in the DC circuit of the brake. The ind uction voltage peak for DC switching
(see "DC switching - fast engagement" circuit diagram) is limited by an integrated overvoltage protection at
terminals 5 and 6.

DANGER
There is a risk of injury by electrical shock!
❚ Electrical connection must only be carried out by skilled personnel!
❚ Only carry out connection work when no voltage is applied (n o live parts)! There is a risk of
unintended start-ups or electric shock.
DANGER
Danger: rotating parts!
The brake must be free of residual torque.
The drive must not be running when checking the brake.
CAUTION
Danger: hot surfaces. Do not touch!
❚The brake is designed for operation under the environmental conditions that apply to IP66 protecti on.
Because of the numerous possibilities of using the brake, it is however necessary to check the functionality of all mechanical components under the corresponding operating conditions.
NOTICE
Functionality for different operating conditions
❚ The brakes are dimensioned in such a way that the given rated torques are reached safely
after a short run-in process.
❚ However, as the organic friction linings used do not all have identical properties and because
environmental conditions can vary, deviations from the specified braking torques are possible. These must be taken into account in the form of appropriate dimensioning tolerances.
Increased breakaway torque is common, in particular after long downtimes in humid environments where temperatures vary.
NOTICE
Operation without dynamic loads (functioning as a pure holding brake)
❚ If the brake is used as a pure holding brake without dynamic load, the friction lining must be
reactivated regularly.

7.1Wear of spring-applied brakes
The table below shows the different causes of wear and their impact on the comp onents of the spring-applied
brake. The influential factors must be quantified so that the service life of the rotor and brake can be calculated and so that the prescribed maintenance intervals can be specified accurat ely. The most important fa ctors in this context are the applied friction energy, the initial speed of rotation 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 should be added together when the amount of we ar is calculated.

7.2Inspections
7.2.1Important notes
To ensure safe and trouble-free operations, the spring-applie d brakes must be checked at re gula r intervals
and, if necessary, be replaced. Servicing will be easier at the plant if the brakes are made accessible. This
must be considered when installing the drives in the plant.
Primarily, the required maintenance intervals for industrial brakes result from their load during operation.
When calculating the maintenance interval, a ll causes for wear must be taken into account, 38. For
brakes with low loads (such as holding brakes with emer gency stop function), we recommend a regular inspection at a fixed time interval. To reduce costs, the inspection can be carried out along with other regular
maintenance work in the plant.
Failures, production losses or damage to the system may occur when the brakes are not serviced. Therefore,
a maintenance strategy that is 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 table below must be followed. The maintenance op erations must be carried out as
described in the detailed descriptions.

7.3Maintenance
NOTICE
Brakes with defective armature plates, springs or flanges must be completely replaced.
Observe the following for inspections and maintenance works:
❚ Contamination by oils and greases should be removed using brake cleaner, or the brake
should be replaced after determining the cause. Dirt and particles in the air gap between the
stator and the armature plate endanger the function and should be removed.
❚ After replacing the rotor, the origin al braking torq ue will n ot be reache d until the run -in oper-
ation for the friction surfaces has been completed. Afte r replacing th e rotor, the run-in arma ture plates and the flanges have an increased initial rate of wear.
7.3.1Check the brake
1. Air gap control (only for sizes12 to 18 ):
-Do not energise the brake when checking the air gap.
-When checking the air gap s
, the plug (item 1.3 in Figure 1) must be levered out manually. Sharp-
L
edged tools will destroy the plug!
-Use a feeler gauge to determine the actual air gap. It can then be compared to the max. permissible

NOTICE
After the procedure, the plug (item 1.3) must be pushed in straight so that it is firmly inserted.
Make sure that the plug does not become tilted.
If further tests are required, the brake must be disassembled 41 (only for sizes 6-18).
DANGER
Switch off the voltage. The brake must have no load torque on it when it is being dismantled.
DANGER
There is a risk of injury by electrical shock!
Live connections must not be touched.
