The brake that is mounted here is specially adapted to the use on the MCA 19 and 21.
Mechanical installation
Important notes
Stop!
If the wear air gap of a spring−applied brake is reached, the brake will no
longer be released. In this case, the complete rotor of the brake must be
replaced.
Note!
¯ BFK457−16R: It is not possible to re−adjust the brake. The complete
rotor must be replaced.
¯ BFK458−18: When the wear limit has been reached, the brake must be
re−adjusted, or the complete rotor must be replaced.
Safety system
Stop!
If a safety encoder is used, all maintenance and installation work must be
performed at the Lenze site.
Otherwise any warranty will expire and Lenze GmbH will not accept any

2.1Spring−applied brake − holding brake
The brakes need to be checked on a regular basis to ensure safe and trouble−free
operation.
The necessary maintenance intervals primarily depend on the stress to which the brake
is subjected in an application. When a maintenance interval is being calculated, all
causes of wear must be taken into account (see notes "Wear on spring−applied brakes").
In the case of brakes which are subjected to low levels of stress, e.g. holding brakes with
emergency stop function, regular inspections at a fixed time interval are recommended.
In order to reduce the amount of work involved in maintenance, perform the inspection
at the same time as other maintenance work carried out cyclically on the machine if
possible.
If the brakes are not properly serviced, operating faults, production outages or damage
to machinery can occur. A maintenance concept adapted to the operating conditions
and the stresses to which the brakes are subjected must therefore be drawn up for every
application. For brakes, the maintenance intervals and servicing work listed in the
following table are necessary.
Maintenance interval for holding brake with
emergency stop
At least every 2 years
After 1 million cycles at the latest
Shorter intervals in the case of frequent emergency
stops!

Maintenance
Stop!
The brakes must not be actuated without blowers.
Danger!
¯ Only work on the drive system when it is in a deenergised state!
¯ Hot motor surfaces of up to 140 °C. Observe cooling times!
¯ Remove loads acting on motors or secure loads acting on the drive!
Note!
Always fully replace brakes with defective armature plates, cylinder head
screws, springs or counter friction faces.
¯ The brakes used are not fail−safe because interference factors which
cannot be influenced (e.g. oil ingress) may lead to a reduction in
torque.
¯ When the rotor has been replaced, the original braking torque is only
attained after the friction surfaces have run in. After the rotor
replacement, increased initial wear will occur if the armature plate and
counter friction faces are not run in.

1. After the brake has been mounted successfully, screw the threaded bolt (10.3)
into the non−drive end shield first and then counter it using the M8 nut (10.1),
tightening torque = 24.6 Nm.
2. Carefully slide the encoder (10) onto the shaft (12), fitting the torque plate (10.7)
with the protective plate (10.6) onto the threaded bolt (10.3). Then tighten the
two stud bolts on the motor shaft (10.4) with 1.5 Nm and secure them by means
of medium−strength screw glue or locking varnish.
3. Mount the upper M4 nut (10.2) in order to axially secure the torque plate and
tighten it with 3 Nm, clamping the torque plate against the lower M4 nut (10.2).
Stop!
The torque plate must be tension−free and has to be positioned at right
angles to the motor−encoder shaft. Otherwise the service life of the
encoder bearings may be reduced!
