1、 Mechanical component inspection and repair

Brake pad wear/deformation

Phenomenon: Excessive clearance between brake pads and brake wheels, insufficient braking torque.

Solution: Measure the gap with a feeler gauge (usually 0.2-0.4mm for DC motors and 0.25-0.5mm for AC motors). If it exceeds the standard, replace the brake pads and adjust the parallelism between the brake wheel and the brake pads.

Spring failure

Phenomenon: Spring fatigue, fracture, or insufficient elasticity, causing the brake to fail to close.

Solution: Use a spring tester to test the elasticity. If it is lower than 80% of the rated value, replace the spring; Ensure that the spring axis is perpendicular to the centerline of the brake wheel during installation to avoid eccentric loading.

bearing wear

Phenomenon: Brake wheel rotation is stuck, causing abnormal noise when holding the brake.

Solution: Disassemble the brake wheel and check the bearing clearance (should be ≤ 0.1mm). If it exceeds the standard, replace the bearing and readjust the coaxiality between the brake wheel and the motor shaft (deviation ≤ 0.05mm).

2、 Electrical system troubleshooting and repair

Brake coil malfunction

Testing: Use a multimeter to measure the coil resistance (deviation should be ≤± 5%). If there is a short circuit or open circuit, replace the coil; Check the insulation of the coil (withstand voltage ≥ 500V/1min).

Repair: When welding coil leads, it is necessary to use heat shrink tubing for insulation to prevent short circuits.

Power issue

Testing: Use a voltmeter to measure the voltage of the brake power supply (usually 24V DC or 110/220V AC). If the voltage fluctuation is greater than ± 10%, install a voltage regulator.

Solution: Check if the power cord is aging (insulation resistance ≥ 1M Ω) and replace the damaged circuit.

Control circuit malfunction

Detection: Use an oscilloscope to observe the waveform of relay and contactor contact signals. If there is adhesion or shaking, replace the components.

Repair: Check the output signals of the PLC or servo controller (such as the p1216/p1217 parameters of SINAMICS G120) to ensure that the opening/closing time of the brake is set reasonably (usually 50-200ms).

3、 Control parameter adjustment and testing

parameter validation

Braking response time: Adjust the delay of opening the brake by adjusting the driver parameters (such as p1216) to ensure that the motor speed drops to zero before releasing the brake to prevent rolling.

Braking torque compensation: In V/f control mode, increase the output voltage through p1310 (additional boost voltage) or p1351 (slip compensation) to compensate for load gravity (such as in crane applications).

load testing

No load test: manually trigger the brake to close, observe whether the motor shaft is locked, and use a tachometer to detect residual speed (should be ≤ 1rpm).

Load test: Gradually increase the load to the rated value, monitor the brake temperature (should be ≤ 80 ℃), and if it overheats, check whether the heat dissipation duct is blocked.

4、 Preventive measures

Regular maintenance: Check the thickness of brake pads, spring elasticity, and bearing lubrication every 3 months.

Environmental control: Avoid use in high temperature (>40 ℃), humid (humidity>85%), or corrosive environments.

Operation specification: It is forbidden to stop the brake more than 3 times in a row to prevent overheating and damage to the brake.
