Guidelines on the Declaration of Conformity
A conformity evaluation has been carried out for the product in terms of the EU Low Voltage Directive 2014/35/
EU, the Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Directive 2014/30/EU and RoHS 2011 / 65 / EU with 2015 / 863
EU.
The Declaration of Conformity is laid out in writing in a separate document and can be requested if required.
Guidelines on the EMC Directive (2014/30/EU)
The product cannot be operated independently according to the EMC directive.
Only after integration of the product into an overall system can this be evaluated in terms of the EMC.
For electronic equipment, the evaluation has been verified for the individual product in laboratory conditions,
but not in the overall system.
Guidelines on the EU Directive 2011 / 65 / EU (RoHS II) with 2015 / 863 EU (RoHS III - from
22 July 2019), which restrict the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic devices
as well as in products / components (category 11), the proper operation of which is dependent on electric
currents and electromagnetic fields. Our electromagnetic products / components fulfill the requirements
laid down in the RoHS Directive(s), taking into account the valid exceptions (according to Appendix III
and IV RoHS (2011/65/EU) with delegated Directives (EU) 2018/739-741 from 01.03.2018 for Category
11 – until 21 July 2024) and comply with the RoHS.
Guidelines on the Machinery Directive (2006/42/EC)
The product is a component for installation into machines according to the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC.
The product can fulfil the specifications for safety-related applications in coordination with other elements.
The type and scope of the required measures result from the machine risk analysis.
The product then becomes a machine component and the machine manufacturer assesses the conformity
of the safety device to the directive. It is forbidden to start use of the product until you have ensured that the
machine accords with the regulations stated in the directive.
Guidelines on the ATEX Directive
Without a conformity evaluation, this product is not suitable for use in areas where there is a high danger
of explosion. For application of this product in areas where there is a high danger of explosion, it must be
classified and marked according to Directive 2014/34/EU.
Guidelines on the REACH Regulation (EC No. 1907/2006)
of the European Parliament and of the Council Concerning the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and
Restriction of Chemicals. This regulates the manufacture, placing on the market and use of chemical substances
in preparations, under certain conditions also pertaining to substances in products. mayr®power transmission
exclusively manufactures products (articles: Overload clutches, shaft couplings, electromagnetic brakes /
clutches, permanent magnet motors and the appropriate control modules / rectifiers) in accordance with the
definition in Article 3 of the REACH Regulation. mayr®power transmission is aware of its responsibility towards
the environment and society. As a matter of precaution, we pay attention to particularly critical substances
in the supply chain and strive to avoid using any such substances completely or to replace them in the near
future. To our knowledge, when used for their intended purpose and disposed of correctly (recycling), the
contained substances pose no threat to health or environment.
Preventative function monitoring
Through the monitoring of different parameters, the ROBA®-brake-checker recognises safety critical operating conditions of the
brake in advance, as well as acute faults (e.g. line breakage). These are determined as they occur and are notified to the user
as a warning before the brake can no longer be operated.
Only the mechanical switching function is checked. Conclusions on the braking torque are not possible (e.g. reduced friction
value due to oiling of the brake lining)
Possible causes for the warning:
• Increasing wear
• Rising coil temperature
• Falling supply voltage
• Line voltage drop on feed lines to the brake
