Braking force is induced by PROFOX electric drive piston which causes movement of the clamp arms and pressing of the shoes against the side surfaces of the running rail. A change of clamp status (braking/brake release) occurs only after a signal from the control system (with power supply connected to the electric drive). In the event of voltage loss, the clamp is not automatically applied or released and it is not necessary to maintain the motor power supply in order to keep the clamp in the released state.
Braking/brake release can be achieved:
The output signals of the electric drive enable the indication of the brake release status, braking or wear of the lining.
It is also possible to map the positions of the electric drive piston (4-20 mA signal).
