NOTE
The pneumatic brake is not a safety component.
The pneumatic brake prevents the guide rail from moving with
respect to the guided slides when a force less than 150 N per
brake is applied to the guide (braking effect when new).
The slide or guide rail must not be moved when the brakes are
applied. This can damage the module. This especially reduces the
braking effect.
The braking effect is also influenced by worn or dirty braking
surfaces. Observe the braking effectiveness and consult our
service department when the brakes become less effective.
In normal operation the braking effect is released by compressed
air and a spring assembly applies the brake when required. Note
that the braking effect is immediately released when the
compressed air supply is switched on, and this can lead to
dangerous movements.
The brake releases when compressed air at a minimum pressure
of 4 bar (maximum 8 bar) is present at the connection of the
module.
Integrate the holding brake into the control concept for your
system in a sensible manner. Note that this is a stationary holding
brake and is not suitable for continuous operation.
WARNING
Switch off control unit and compressed air.
The brake piston is pre-loaded with disk springs.
