Basic design and functional principle

The essential parts of the brake system are the mobile pressure plate [6], the brake springs [7], the brake lining carrier [1], the brake endshield [2] and the brake coil [8] (accelerator coil BS + coil section TS = holding coil HS). The magnet body consists of the magnet body housing [9] with cast winding and a tapping.

The pressure plate is forced against the brake disk by the brake springs when the electromagnet is de-energized. The brake is applied to the motor. The number and type of brake springs determine the braking torque. When the brake coil is connected to the corresponding DC voltage, the force of the brake springs [4] is overcome by magnetic force [11], thereby bringing the pressure plate into contact with the magnet body. The brake lining carrier moves clear and the rotor can turn.
