mayr power transmission intelligent safety brakes

Thursday, 20 April, 2017 | Supplied by: Regal Rexnord Australia


mayr power transmission safety brakes ready for Industry 4.0 are now available from Regal Beloit. Modules such as the ROBA-brake-checker or the ROBA-torqcontrol allow permanent brake monitoring. The ROBA-brake-checker module monitors the switching condition as well as the tension path or tension force reserve without sensors and detects safety-critical changes in voltage, air gap and temperature. On reaching the tension path reserve, the ROBA-brake-checker sends a warning signal indicating that the brake can continue to be operated for a certain amount of time. During this time, the machine owner can undertake targeted maintenance in coordination with their work process.

For applications which require braking torque control in addition to status monitoring, mayr power transmissions provides the ROBA-torqcontrol braking torque control module. It shares the features of the ROBA-brake-checker and can also change the level of the braking torque in operation through control of current and voltage. As a result, devices and machines can be evenly and gently decelerated.

The developers at mayr power transmission have also successfully created a new friction lining technology through which the brakes achieve improved torque consistency and a higher performance density. Using the new linings, higher braking torques as well as higher area-specific friction work values can be achieved, which means the brakes are of a more compact design, but with the same features. Under certain circumstances, a smaller, lighter brake construction size can be selected for higher braking torques and for brakes on which higher demands are placed.
