Safety Regulations
These Safety Regulations are user hints only and may not be complete!
Ambient Temperature: – 20 °C up to + 40 °C
CAUTION At temperatures of around or under freezing
point, condensation can strongly reduce the
torque, or the friction surfaces can freeze up.
The user is responsible for taking appropriate
counter measures.
Appointed Use
ROBATIC®-clutches have been developed, manufactured and
tested as electromagnetic components in compliance with the
DIN VDE 0580 standard and in accordance with the EU Low
Voltage Directive. During installation, operation and maintenance
of the product, the requirements for the standard must be
observed.
ROBATIC®-clutches are for use in machines and systems and
must only be used in the situations for which they are ordered
and confirmed. Using them for any other purpose is not allowed!
Earthing Connection
The clutch is designed for Protection Class I. This protection
covers not only the basic insulation, but also the connection of all
conductive parts to the PE conductor on the fixed installation. If
the basic insulation fails, no contact voltage will remain. Please
carry out a standardized inspection of the PE conductor
connections to all contactable metal parts!
Insulation Material Class F (+155 °C)
The insulation components on the magnetic coils are
manufactured at least to insulation material class F (+155 °C).
Protection
(electrical) IP54: Dust-proof and protected against contact as
well as against water spray coming from any direction.
This protection is valid for the coil, the casting compound and the
connection strands.
On designs with a connection terminal, the connection
terminal itself corresponds to Protection IP00.
Storage of ROBATIC®-clutch Devices
Store the clutches in a horizontal position, in dry rooms and
dust and vibration-free.
Relative air humidity < 50 %.
Temperature without major fluctuations within a range
from – 20 °up to +60°C.
Do not store in direct sunlight or UV light.
Do not store aggressive, corrosive substances (solvents /
acids / lyes / salts etc.) near to the clutches.
For longer storage of more than 2 years, special measures are
required (please contact the manufacturer).
Handling
Before installation, the clutch must be inspected and found to
be in proper condition.
The clutch function must be inspected both once installation
has taken place as well as after longer system downtimes, in
order to prevent the drive starting up against possibly seized
friction surfaces.
User-implemented Protective Measures:
Please cover moving parts to protect against injury
through seizure.
Place a cover on the magnetic part to protect against
injury through high temperatures.
Protective circuit: When using DC-side switching, the coil
must be protected by a suitable protective circuit according
to VDE 0580, which is integrated in mayr ®-rectifiers. To
protect the switching contact from consumption when using
DC-side switching, additional protective measures are
necessary (e.g. series connection of switching contacts).
The switching contacts used should have a minimum
contact opening of 3 mm and should be suitable for
inductive load switching. Please make sure on selection
that the rated voltage and the rated operation current are
sufficient. Depending on the application, the switching
contact can also be protected by other protective circuits
(e.g. mayr ®-spark quenching unit, half-wave and bridge
rectifiers), although this may of course then alter the
switching times.
Install additional protective measures against corrosion if
the clutch is subject to extreme ambient conditions or is
installed in open air conditions, unprotected from the
weather.
Take precautions against freeze-up of the friction
surfaces in high humidity and at low temperatures.
