uct characteristics.
❚
Only qualified, skilled personnel are permitted to work on and with INTORQ components.

❚
Risk of burns!

❚
Risk of injury due to a rotating shaft!
- Wait until the motor is at standstill before you start working on the motor.
❚
The friction lining and the friction surfaces must never contact oil or grease since even small amounts
reduce the braking torque considerably.
❚
The brake is designed for operation under the environmental conditions that apply to IP54 protection.
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.
