The electromagnetic design of the tried and tested linear brake construction series ROBA®-linearstop has been approved for monitoring with the ROBA®-brake-checker module. It is the only electromagnetic rack and pinion brake on the market. Fig.: mayr® power transmission
Focus on Robotics Mayr power transmission’s focus will be on robotics at the Hanover Trade Fair 2019
M Key Highlight:
Hanover Trade Fair 2019, mayr® power transmission is presenting new, intelligent ROBA®brake-checker module designs, which are able to monitor and supply safety brakes without the use of sensors.
ayr power transmission has its eyes firmly fixed on the sustained trend for automation and the high demands placed on robotic solutions. For this reason, the company has substantially expanded its performance spectrum of clutches, couplings and brakes. Furthermore, at the Hanover Trade Fair 2019, mayr® power transmission is presenting new, intelligent ROBA®-brake-checker module designs, which are able to monitor and supply safety brakes without the use of sensors. Using these designs, new possibilities for brake monitoring are opened up – in particular also for applications in the fields of robotics and automation. The degree of automation is increasing, humans and robots are cooperating more closely – in all the important industrial branches robots are on the advance. Machines and systems are increasing in performance density as well as operating speed and this also means higher demands on individual components. For this reason, mayr® power transmission, the specialist for safety brakes, torque limiters and shaft couplings from Mauerstetten in the Allgäu region
of Germany, offers small, high-performance safety brakes, for example with the ROBA®-servostop® construction series. These brakes are tailored to robotic requirements through their slim design and low weight. In addition, the company has a fluid-free linear brake in its portfolio with its ROBA®-linearstop in electromagnetic design, which has been designed to secure gravityloaded vertical axes. These brakes are used in applications in which compressors or units for compressed air or oil hydraulics are not available or are unwanted, such as in medical technology or the food or pharmaceutical industry, where high hygiene standards are required. The ROBA®brake-checker module now opens up new possibilities for brake monitoring also in these application fields. With a new module design and thanks to even more accurate evaluation, it is now possible to also supply and monitor small brake sizes from a braking torque of 0.7 Nm. This makes the ROBA®-linearstop not just the only electromagnetic rack and pinion brake on the market, but it also means it can be monitored even in small construction sizes with the aid of the module.
