industrial brake

Product Description

The Intorq BFK458 is a highly reliable and widely used spring-applied brake designed for various industrial applications. It is well-known for its durability, safety features, and adaptability. Below are the key features of the Intorq BFK458:

1. Spring-Applied Design

• Operating Principle: The brake is engaged by spring force and released electromagnetically, making it fail-safe. When the power is cut off, the brake engages, ensuring that machinery is safely stopped in emergencies.

2. Modular Design

• Customizable: The BFK458 has a modular design, allowing flexibility in adapting to different industrial applications. Various components, such as hub types, friction linings, and mounting options, can be selected to suit specific needs.

3. Multiple Sizes and Torque Ranges

• Torque Range: Available in a wide torque range, typically from 1.5 Nm to 600 Nm, making it suitable for both light-duty and heavy-duty applications.
• Size Variations: Comes in multiple size options to meet different installation requirements, offering versatility in a wide range of machines and systems.

4. Fast Response Time

• Quick Engagement and Release: The brake features a short switching time, providing quick engagement when power is lost and a fast release when the power is applied. This makes it ideal for applications requiring frequent stop-start cycles.

5. Low Noise Operation

• Quiet Braking: Designed to operate with minimal noise, even during frequent braking, which is particularly important in environments where low noise levels are required, such as in material handling or automation.

6. Durability and Long Life

• Wear-Resistant Components: Built using high-quality materials, including durable friction linings that ensure long service life and consistent performance over time.
• Low Maintenance: Requires minimal maintenance, reducing downtime and increasing productivity.

7. Energy Efficient

• Low Power Consumption: The Intorq BFK458 has low power consumption during brake release, which contributes to energy savings over long periods of operation.

8. Manual Release Option

• Manual Override: In case of emergencies or power outages, the brake can be manually released. This is particularly useful in situations where machinery needs to be manually moved or adjusted without electrical power.

9. Temperature Resistance

• Wide Operating Temperature Range: The brake can operate efficiently in a broad temperature range, typically from -20C to +40C, ensuring reliable performance in both cold and hot environments.

10. Protection Class

• IP Protection: The Intorq BFK458 is available in different protection classes, up to IP66, which makes it suitable for dusty or wet environments, ensuring resistance against environmental factors like dust and water.

11. Safety and Reliability

• Fail-Safe Mechanism: Since the brake engages when power is lost, it provides a fail-safe braking system, ensuring that machinery stops safely during power failure or emergency conditions.

12. Versatile Applications

• Industries Served: The BFK458 is suitable for a wide range of applications including:
  • Material Handling Systems
  • Elevators and Escalators
  • Wind Turbines
  • Packaging Machines
  • Conveyor Systems
  • Automated Storage Systems
