Characteristics of the BE.. safety brake
BE.. brakes are optionally available as safety brakes. These are identical to BE.. brakes with regard to the general design and the basic operating principle.
Safety brakes are developed by SEW-EURODRIVE for use in functional safety and are certified by TÜV NORD as a safety-related component of category 1 according to EN ISO 13849-1. As such, motor options and drive combinations are available to a limited degree, where applicable.
When they are suitably incorporated into a safe braking system (SBS), you can realize numerous safety concepts up to PL e with the safety brakes.
The use of a safety brake allows for safety functions which force the motor to enter idle state and hold it safely in its position:
- SBA (Safe Brake Actuation) – Safe deceleration
- SBH (Safe Brake Hold) – Safe hold
At SEW-EURODRIVE, the entire drive with safety brake is manufactured with high production quality. Safety brakes are subjected to production monitoring with 100% final inspection. The traceability of the safety brake to the end customer allows us to inform our customers, if necessary. Included documents already fulfill the normative requirements of EN ISO 13849 and round off the product.
BE.. safety brakes are certified by TÜV-Nord Systems GmbH & Co. KG and fulfill the requirements according to EN ISO 13849.
