Design principle of the pneumatically and electromagnetically systems
The linear brake systems consist of the brake module, which is connected to the drive group (carriage, table) that moves, and a steel band, which is held at its ends under tension in special brackets.
This band is aligned parallel to the direction of movement of the drive. The wide sides of the band form the frictional surfaces against which the friction linings of the brake module act.
The force, with which the friction linings are pressed against the band to generate a frictional connection between band and brake module, is spring applied and pneumatically / electromagneticallly released. A number of brake modules can be arranged one behind the other to act on one band. The standard brackets holding the band are designed for a maximum force of 3.000 N per band. The brackets are mounted on the base plate of the linear drive or on the machine frame and serve at the same time for the aligning and pretensioning of the band.
