Overview of IMfinity® FFB Brake Motors
The document offers a guide on IMfinity® LS FFB, LSES FFB, and FLSES FFB brake motors, highlighting their integration of motor, control device, and friction mechanism for precise stopping times.
Specifications and Components
The brake motor includes a rotor, stator, electromagnet, springs, lining, and mating surface, designed for intermittent duty and emergency stops. It is failsafe, engaging when power is off, and compatible with variable speed drives.
Operating Conditions and Duty Cycles
Various duty cycles per IEC 60034-1 standards are outlined, including continuous duty (S1) and intermittent periodic duty (S3).
Performance and Limitations
Performance is influenced by starting frequency and operating factors, with tables for no-load starting frequency and brake energy capacity provided.
Electromagnet Characteristics
The DC electromagnet features a resin-coated coil and cast iron yoke, with specifications for coil resistance and power.
Braking Torque and Environmental Considerations
Braking torque is derived from friction between composite materials, with recommendations to maintain a torque of 1.5 times the rated torque.
Specifications
FFB brake motors are designed to prevent sticking and oxidation in damp environments, validated according to EN 60721-3-4 standards.
Influence of Temperature
Successive braking operations can increase motor temperature, reducing braking torque by up to 15%.
Wear and Maintenance
Brake wear requires regular adjustment, with high-speed braking (3,000 rpm and above) to be avoided.
Braking Operations
Tables list the maximum number of braking operations before disc replacement for various motor types.
Response Times
Brake release and application response times are defined, with options to reduce these times using electronic boosters.
Air Gap and Lining
The air gap must be regularly checked and maintained to prevent damage and ensure effective braking.
Noise Levels
Noise levels for brake release and application are provided, varying by coil type and switch-off method.

IMfinity® LS FFB - LSES FFB - FLSES FFB brake motors Operation Definition of the brake motor The brake motor combines, in a single electromechanical assembly - a motor: rotor + stator which forms the drive mechanism - control device: electromagnet + a springs which apply or release the brake, - friction: lining + mating surface which provide the braking action. AERAS OF USE • Intermittent duty: a mechanical device driven by a motor on its own takes a long time to stop if there is little friction. The brake motor ensures shorter, accurate and safe stopping times. It is used in handling where accuracy...

IMfinity® LS FFB - LSES FFB - FLSES FFB brake motors Operation Electromagnet characteristics The DC electromagnet consists of a resin-coated coil in a cast iron yoke. The yoke and the armature form the magnetic circuit. All our coils are made for a DC voltage of 180 VDC (400 or 230 VAC supply) or 20 VDC (24 VAC supply). All the electromagnets are class F and can be continuously supplied with power. Maximum permissible voltage in S1 duty is 480 V, for any product. Since it is difficult to distinguish between some DC coils by size alone, the coil resistance should be measured with an appropriately...

IMfinity® LS FFB - LSES FFB - FLSES FFB brake motors Operation Braking torques The braking torque Mf is obtained from the friction between a lining made of fibrous composite material and a mating surface. If the braking torque is higher than the highest motor torque, there is a risk of the drivetrain becoming fatigued or breaking. It is therefore advisable to use: Mf = 1.5 x Mn Characteristics Tables section. A non-standard braking torque is possible as an option (see Optional Braking Torque section). If you encounter any difficulty relating to standards, please consult Nidec LeroySomer. The...

IMfinity® LS FFB - LSES FFB - FLSES FFB brake motors Operation Braking torques Linings In order to be able to apply and release the brake, there needs to be displacement of the lining and the armature; this displacement is the air gap. Lining wear must be checked when the air gap is adjusted, by checking the disc thickness The dimension R must never be lower than following values as this would result in damage including total loss of braking torque, without any warning signs. Its replacement is mandatory as R dimension reaches the following values: Brake size FFB1, FFB2, FFB3 FFB4, FFB5 Exceeding...
