The EEX LINE is comprised of spring-
applied single-disc brakes with explosion protection for use in potentially explosion
hazards locations. The flame proofed spring-applied brake is suitable for use in under-
ground mines where there is a danger of
firedamp. Explosion proofed spring-applied
brakes are characterised by the fact that all
components which may ignite explosive
mixtures are placed in an enclosure
designed to withstand the specified test
pressure and to prevent any mixtures outside
the enclosure from being affected by the
explosion. The brakes are equipped with
four thermoswitches and one microswitch.
The microswitch prevents any unintentional
motor start-up when the brake is not
released. The thermoswitches, which are connected in series with the microswitch,
interrupt the control circuit as soon as the
brake exceeds the permitted maximum temperature limits. The brakes are
corosion protected. Electromagnetic spring-applied brakes generate the required brake
torque when voltage is removed. The hand
release feature fitted to the brake allows the
braking effect to be neutralised manually.

Applications:
- DC motors
- three-phase motors
- gear motors
- lifting and handling technology
- petrochemical industry
