Safety instructions
2.1
Personnel responsible for safety
Operator
❚
An operator is any natural or legal person who uses the spring-applied brake or on whose behalf the
spring-applied brake is used.
❚
The operator or his safety personnel must ensure
-
that all relevant regulations, notes and laws will be maintained,
-
that only qualified personnel will work on and with the spring-applied brake,
-
that the Operating Instructions will be available to the personnel working on and with the brake at
all times,
-
that unqualified personnel will not be allowed to work on and with the spring-applied brake.
Qualified personnel
Qualified personnel refers to those who – due to their training, experience, instruction and knowledge of rel-
evant standards and regulations, accident prevention regulations and operating conditions related to the
safety of the facility – have been entitled by the person responsible for the safety of the system to work on
and with the system and to recognize and avoid all possible dangers.
(Definition of qualified employees according to IEC 364)

General safety instructions
❚
We make no claim to completeness concerning these safety notices. Please contact your local INTORQ
representative if you have questions or problems.
❚
The spring-applied brake corresponds to the state of the art at the time of delivery and is generally safe
to operate.
❚
The spring-applied brake is hazardous to persons, the spring-applied brake itself and other properties
of the operator if
-
non-qualified personnel work on and with the spring-applied brake.
-
the spring-applied brake is used inappropriately.
❚
The spring-applied brakes must be designed so that they perform their function and do not cause danger
for persons if they are installed correctly and used as intended in error-free operation. This also applies
to the interaction with the overall system.
❚
Do not operate the spring-applied brake unless it is in perfect condition.
❚
Retrofittings or changes of the spring-applied brake are generally prohibited. They always require prior
consultation with INTORQ GmbH & Co. KG.
❚
The friction lining and the friction surfaces must never contact oil or grease since even small amounts
reduce the braking torque considerably.
❚
The brake torque will usually not be influenced if the brake is used under the environmental conditions
that apply to IP54. Because of the numerous possibilities of using the brake, it is still necessary to check
the functionality of all mechanical components under the corresponding operating conditions.
