D Series - Double Polarity Motors:
The D series motors are used in applications requiring two fixed speeds, achieved by switching the motor poles. There are two types: motors with a polarity ratio of 2 (2/4 poles, 4/8 poles) using a single winding and Dahlander YY-D connection, and motors with a different polarity ratio (e.g., 2/8 poles) with two distinct windings and Y or D connection. Special attention is needed during polarity switching due to the braking torque applied, which can affect the motor's operation and transmission sizing.
S Series - Single-Phase Motors:
The S series motors are single-phase asynchronous motors with a running capacitor, insulated in class F, and continuous duty S1, powered at 230V and 50Hz. They have two separate windings, allowing for rotation direction reversal by modifying terminal connections or using contactors. An optional balanced winding version is available for low-powered motors, allowing external rotation direction change with a switch.
Specifications:
The document discusses single-phase electric motors, specifically the S series and HSE series. The S series motors have two windings: a main winding covering 2/3 of the stator slots and an auxiliary winding covering 1/3. These motors allow for rotation reversal by altering connections or using external switches. An alternative balanced winding option is available, with identical windings each covering half the stator slots, suitable for small power motors (sizes 63/71/80).
Procedures:
For the S series, rotation direction can be reversed externally using a switch with positions 0-1-2, eliminating the need for two external switches. The HSE series motors are designed for high starting torque applications and include an auxiliary capacitor activated only during startup, which is disconnected once full speed is reached.
Standards and Norms:

It is designed for use with electric motors and has a standard protection rating of IP54. The brake's power voltage is 230V±10% 50/60Hz or 400V±10% 50/60Hz, with a fixed braking moment set according to motor size.
Procedures:
The brake is powered by direct current through a rectifier bridge, converting single-phase AC input to DC. For TBS and TBH series motors, the standard input voltage is 230V AC, rectified to 103V DC. For DB series motors, the input is 400V AC, rectified to 178V DC. The brake can be powered directly from the motor or separately from an external source.
Options:
Optional features include a manual release lever with automatic return, useful for manual operations during power outages or installation, and a microswitch to signal brake locking/releasing and wear. Brakes can also be supplied for various voltages, and different rectifiers are available for specific applications.
Standards and Recommendations:
The document specifies that the braking moment is not adjustable and highlights the importance of using the correct rectifier type for the application. It also notes that all rectifiers, except the RRSD type, are available in versions compliant with UL/CSA standards.
Key Data:
The document includes tables with characteristic values for the brake, detailing the braking moment (MB) for different motor sizes and the specifications for various rectifiers, including their impact on release and braking times.
Brake Power Supply Types:- Direct Brake Power: The brake coil is activated automatically when the motor is powered, and the brake disconnects. Upon motor power disconnection, the brake re-engages. The braking response time is influenced by the motor's inertia and stored energy, which varies per motor and cannot be predetermined.
- Separate Brake Power: The brake is powered via a rectifier from terminals separate from the motor. The stop time is independent of motor and load characteristics.
- Direct Brake Power with DC Side Opening: This setup allows for rapid braking contact on the rectifier, making the braking response time independent of motor and load characteristics and shorter than separate power setups.
- Separate Brake Power with AC and DC Side Opening: Similar to the direct power setup, this configuration prevents energy discharge into the rectifier during braking, extending its lifespan.

Specifications:
The MS brake is an AC electromagnetic brake that operates without power through spring pressure. Standard power supply is 230/400V±10% 50Hz, with options for other voltages. It features a silent, asbestos-free friction joint with dual braking surfaces and a sliding steel brake disc on a splined hub. The braking torque is fixed based on the motor's nominal torque, with adjustable options available.
Operating Principle:
When powered, the brake coil energizes, overcoming spring force and allowing motor shaft rotation. Upon power loss, springs press the brake disc against the motor shield, initiating braking.
Options:
Manual release lever with automatic return, stainless steel anti-sticking ring, and IP55 protection for special environmental conditions. Separate brake power supply is available, with a second terminal block for brake cables.
Power Supply:
Direct brake power is derived from the motor's terminal block, with automatic brake release upon motor power-up. Separate brake power is an option, affecting only brake characteristics.
Connection Modes:
Direct brake power involves energizing the brake coil with motor power, while separate brake power uses an auxiliary terminal block, affecting response times t1 and t2 based on brake characteristics alone.
Brake Motors - Notes and Calculations
Specifications and Calculations:
The document outlines the specifications and calculations necessary for determining the braking moment (MB) for brake motors. The key factors influencing the brake's rating include the moment of inertia to be braked, the number of braking cycles per hour, the severity of the duty, and the required stopping times. The braking moment is calculated using the formula:
MB = K [(2π·n0/60) · Jtot ·± ML] / tF
where K is the safety coefficient (≥2), Jtot is the total inertia of rotating parts reduced to the motor shaft, n0 is the motor shaft speed, tF is the braking time, and ML is the moment of load acting on the system.
Wear and Thermal Load:
The document emphasizes the importance of considering the wear of friction surfaces in relation to service intervals and the thermal load, which is the work that can be dissipated by the brake in relation to the load's moment of inertia and the number of cycles per hour. Special ambient conditions may require additional protections or corrosion proofing.
Verification of Heat Dissipation:
Each cycle transforms the energy of moving masses into heat by friction. The work done during braking (WB) is calculated, and the number of cycles per hour (Z) must be less than the maximum permissible for the selected brake type. If the calculated starting frequency (Z) exceeds the permissible limit, adjustments must be made to reduce the starting frequency or oversize the brake.
Starting Frequency:
The maximum starting frequency (Z) is determined based on the load and inertias using the formula:
Z = KJ KM Z0
where KJ and KM are coefficients related to the moment of inertia of the motor and load, MS is the motor starting torque, and Z0 is the starting frequency under load and inertia conditions. The calculated starting frequency must be less than the maximum number of cycles/hour allowed for the brake.
Recommendations:
If the starting frequency is close to the maximum permissible, it is recommended to monitor the motor windings' temperature using a bimetal cutout to prevent overheating.
Brake Work and Frequency Calculations
The document outlines the calculations for brake work and frequency in electric motors. It emphasizes that the maximum allowable work (WBmax) must exceed the calculated work. The number of permissible braking operations between two settings is determined by the formula N = W1 / WB, where W1 is derived from the brake type table.
Starting Frequency
The maximum starting frequency (Z) is calculated based on load and inertia using the formula Z = KJ KM Z0 [h-1]. The coefficients KJ and KM are obtained from tables, and Z0 is the starting frequency without load. The calculated Z must be less than the maximum allowable braking operations per hour. If not, the brake cannot dissipate the generated heat, necessitating a reduction in starting frequency or an oversized brake.
Heat Dissipation Verification
During each cycle, the energy of moving masses is converted into heat through friction. The braking work (WB) is calculated, and the number of cycles per hour (Z) must be less than the maximum allowable cycles for the selected brake type. If Z approaches Z0, motor winding temperature should be monitored using a bimetal thermal protector.
