Functional safety

SEW-EURODRIVE introduces new double disk brake

Bruchsal, Hannover Messe Trade Fair 2015: In the last few years, the rules have been tightened for the design of systems that could potentially injure people working in their immediate proximity if they malfunction or are operated incorrectly. For this reason, SEW-EURODRIVE has pushed ahead with the development of its new double disk brakes for industrial and theater applications, and is now able to introduce the new BF.. and BT.. double disk brakes, which extend the company’s functional safety range.

Increased safety precautions are necessary in applications and areas where people work with machines, so as to prevent any danger or injury to operators through their own mistakes or through a machine malfunction.

The new BF.. and BT.. double disk brakes from SEW-EURODRIVE meet the requirements up to the highest performance level (PL)e to DIN EN ISO 13849-1. Thanks to DUE integrated brake monitoring, wear and correct function can be constantly monitored, thus ensuring safe system operation. To comply with the requirements of EN 56950-1 for event technology, a special noise reduction system was developed for the BT.. double disk brakes.

The new BF.. and BT.. double disk brakes enable SEW-EURODRIVE to extend its portfolio of safe braking systems. In doing so, the company is once again underlining its position as the number one contact for customers requiring a high-quality, reliable and modular solution from a single source, since the new double disk brakes fit seamlessly into the SEW-EURODRIVE modular concept.
