Brake Selection
|
The brake size must be chosen to give required braking torque and to dissipate the energy during stopping
without over heating the disc. Brake torque is often related to drive motor torque by an arbitrary service
factor typically 75% -100% full load torque for crane travel and similar inertial loads which tend to be self
stopping or 150% -200% for crane hoists and other overhauling loads. If a precise stop time or distance is
specified, then the brake torque must be calculated.
Motor FL torque is given by:
- [(kW x 9550) / rpm]Nm or [(HP x 5250) / rpm]Lbft

Magnetic Actuator
Short stroke DC tractive type with encapsulated coil and screw-off
release nut with optional switch. All fabricated steel construction.
- Resin encapsulated coil with Class F insulation
- Optional replaceable coil arrangement for CX range
- 100% continuously rated up to 40°C ambient
- Air gap dust and drip protected by neoprene gaiter
- Terminal box IP55 enclosure
Characteristics
All DC magnets tend to inherently slow response due to build up and decay of the magnetic field. The actual
times are dependent on size and vary with excitation voltage, coil temperature and spring loading (torque)
and also the magnet stroke which increases as brake linings wear.
Coil Forcing (Shunt Wound Voltage Operated)
All CU & CX Range brakes are forced open by electric current creating a magnetic field. Brake release and set times are reduced by a separate brake control unit to apply increased power
magnetic force during a short preset start period . Control units are enclosed ventilated drip proof IP22 for DC
supplies or totally enclosed IP55 with rectifier for 1 or 3 phase AC supplies.
