Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Does the braking torque depend on the activation speed?
A: No. The braking torque regulation is independent of the speed adjustment.
Q: Does the brake require electrical power to activate?
A: No. The FPC-1000 activates fully mechanically and automatically.
Q: Which European standards does the brake comply with?
A: The FPC-500 complies with EN-12158, EN-12159, EN-1495, EN-81-7 and the Lift Directive 2014/33/EU.
Q: My application is very slow. Can you set the brake above 150 rpm?
A: No, the brake is a mechanical system that requires a minimum of 150 rpm to trigger. You can use a gearbox to increase the input speed while reducing the torque.
Q: Where can it be installed?
A: It can be mounted directly to the machine or on standard IEC 132 gearboxes.
