INTORQ BRAKE bfk458 08n

Product Description

The Intorq BFK458 does not have a "loading capacity" in the traditional sense of carrying weight. Instead, its capacity is typically defined by its torque rating, which refers to the braking force it can apply to a rotating shaft. The torque capacity of the BFK458 defines how much rotational force the brake can handle when it engages to stop or hold a load in place.

Torque Capacity Range:

The Intorq BFK458 spring-applied brake series offers a wide range of torque capacities, generally ranging from 1.5 Nm to 600 Nm, depending on the model. This range allows the brake to be used in a variety of industrial applications, from light-duty to heavy-duty operations.

Breakdown of Torque Capacities:

1. Small Models:

   • Torque Capacity: 1.5 Nm to 10 Nm
   • Applications: Suitable for small motors, automation systems, and light material handling.

2. Medium Models:

   • Torque Capacity: 20 Nm to 100 Nm
   • Applications: Typically used in machine tools, conveyor systems, and moderate industrial applications.

3. Large Models:

   • Torque Capacity: 150 Nm to 600 Nm
   • Applications: Ideal for heavy-duty applications, such as cranes, wind turbines, and large industrial machinery where strong braking force is required.

Selecting the Right Torque Capacity:

• Load Size and Weight: The appropriate brake torque should be matched to the loadïs size and weight as well as the speed at which the shaft is rotating.
• Safety Requirements: Higher torque capacity may be needed in applications where sudden stops or emergency braking is required to ensure safety.
