Note: The locking brake serves as a redundant brake and may only be used in addition to a motor brake or other primary brake.
The linear unit with braking element LBPS is designed exclusively for operation with compressed air. It is not suitable for operation with other media. According to EN ISO 13849-1, the integrated braking element is a proven component of control systems. The element can be used in category B or 1 control systems without any further control measures; a test channel must be provided for category 2 control systems. For use in higher control categories, the control must be multi-channel, whereby each channel must implement the safety function on its own.
