Safety Regulations
With this safety regulations no claim on completeness is raised!
Attention!
Hazardous conditions when contacting hot
connections and components.

Notes to the electromagnetic compatibility (EMV)

There are no emissions from the listed single
components within the meaning of the EMV-guideline
89/336/EEC, however, increased interference levels
can occur when working components are operated
outside their specification limits as for example,
energising the brake in the line side with rectifiers,
phase demodulators or ROBA-switch in the line side.
Therefore, the installation and operating instructions
must be read carefully the EMV-guidelines are to be
observed.

Only qualified and well-trained specialists should work on

the units to avoid any personal injury or damage to
machinery.
Danger!
If the electromagnetic brake is used in an improper way.
If the electromagnetic brake has been modified or reconverted.
If the relevant standards of the safety or installation conditions
are not observed.

Attention!
The installation and operating instructions must be
read carefully and all safety regulations observed
before installation and initial operation as danger to
personnel and damage to machinery may be
caused.
The electromagnetic brakes are developed and
manufactured in conformance with the temporally
known rules of the technology and they are basically
considered as fail-safe at the time of the delivery.

Conditions of the unit

The catalogue values are reference values, which can
deviate in some cases. When selecting the brake, site
of installation, braking fluctuations, permissible friction
work, behaviour during run-in, wear and ambient
conditions are to be carefully checked and agreed with
the unit manufacturer.

2. Push guide bolt II (pos. 14) (brake back side) into brake
calibre (pos. 3).
3. Release brake electrically or mechanically with an auxiliary
device.
4. Push released brake over guide bolt I (pos. 13) and slew it
over brake disc.
5. Push cover (pos. 20) with thrust spring (pos. 21)
over hexagon head cap screw (pos.15).
6. Push hexagon head cap screw with cover and thrust spring
into guide bolt II (pos. 14) and screw brake at machine wall
(tightening torque 117 Nm).
7. Check the axial well running of the guide!
8. Attach cover (pos. 20) and thrust spring (pos. 21)
with hexagon head cap screw (pos.19) at guide bolt I
(pos. 13) (tightening torque 83 Nm).
9. Make brake to engage at that place where the brake disc
(due to the true running tolerance) is the nearest to the
machine wall (release).
10. Adjust gap (min. 0,1mm) between hexagon head cap screw
(pos. 22) and machine wall via hexagon head cap screw
(pos. 22) and lock it with a hexagon nut (pos. 23/30).
11. Release brake and turn brake disc. In this case the brake
disc must not slip.
12. Attach cover depending on mounting position.

The spring force (brake force) of the brake is adjusted to

max. 4500 225 N (without influence of the silence damping).
A reduction of the set brake force to min. 3670 N is possible by
uniformly turning all 4 set screws (pos. 12) to the left side.
Indication:
When adjusting the braking torque it has to be observed that all
brakes being located at the drive are adjusted uniformly!

Attention:
Do not mix it up with noise damping (pos. 16)!

Brake inspection
The full adjusted brake torque is only achieved after the run-in
process has been carried out.
The brake torque (switching torque) is the slipping torque acting on
the shafting at a running speed of 1 m/s referred to the mean friction
radius (acc. to DIN VDE 0580/10.94).

Release monitoring (Pos. 18) (Fig. 2):

Execute performance test before initial operation of the brake
The ROBA-diskstop is supplied with release monitoring adjusted at
the factory (air gap 0,25 0,3 mm).
A micro switch signals the change of the condition of the brake (brake
opened or brake closed).
The signal is evaluated at the customer (see wiring diagram page 5).
From the time when the brake is energised a period of three times the
separation time must be passed, before the micro switch signal of the
release monitoring system is evaluated.
Minimum switch capacity: 0,12 VA ( > 12 V; > 10 mA)

Noise damping (Pos. 16) (Fig. 1):

(B.8.4.GB)

Exchange of the lining carrier (pos. 4) (Fig. 2):

Important note:
The noise damping used here has been adjusted at the factory.
However, the noise damping used in this case is incumbent on
a certain ageing depending on the application or working
conditions (torque adjustment, switching frequency, ambient
conditions, natural oscillation of the operational plant etc.) and
must be readjusted, or replaced routinely in case of too loud
switching noises.
Only qualified and authorized well trained specialists are
allowed to do this and it should only be done in the factory.

Maintenance
The ROBA-diskstop nearly doesnt require any maintenance. The
friction lining pairing is robust and wear resistant and hereby a very
long service life of the brake is obtained. At certain intervals the
brake linings must be checked and when they have reached the
max. permissible degree of wear the brake pad (pos. 4) must be
exchanged.

Attention:
Brake must be released!
1. Dismantle brake in the opposite way than mentioned under
Brake assembly.
2. Remove brake calibre (pos. 3) by unscrewing the cap screws
(pos. 9).
3. Remove brake lining carrier (pos. 4) (and, if necessary adjusting
washers pos. 5) at calibre brake and armature disc sides by
unscrewing the cap screws (pos. 6) and countersunk screws
(pos. 7).
Attention: Adjusting washers (if available) must be included
again when the new lining carriers are assembled!
4. Screw on new lining carriers (pos. 4) (and if necessary adjusting
washers pos. 5), brake calibre and armature disc sides by the aid
of cap screws (pos. 6) and countersunk screws (pos. 7) (secure it
