2.1 Spring−applied brake − holding brake
The brakes need to be checked on a regular basis to ensure safe and trouble−free
operation.
The necessary maintenance intervals primarily depend on the stress to which the brake
is subjected in an application. When a maintenance interval is being calculated, all
causes of wear must be taken into account (see notes "Wear on spring−applied brakes").
In the case of brakes which are subjected to low levels of stress, e.g. holding brakes with
emergency stop function, regular inspections at a fixed time interval are recommended.
In order to reduce the amount of work involved in maintenance, perform the inspection
at the same time as other maintenance work carried out cyclically on the machine if
possible.
If the brakes are not properly serviced, operating faults, production outages or damage
to machinery can occur. A maintenance concept adapted to the operating conditions
and the stresses to which the brakes are subjected must therefore be drawn up for every
application. For brakes, the maintenance intervals and servicing work listed in the
following table are necessary.
