General information
The spring-applied brake VIS is a single-disk brake with two friction surfaces. The compression springs create the braking torque by friction locking. The brake is released electromagnetically. The spring-applied brake is designed for the conversion of mechanical work and kinetic energy in heating. For operation characteristics see related paragraph.

Main Characteristics and Standards
The VIS Series brake are a Patented (pending) design and concept system for quick and easy installation with only 4 bolts. No machining, fitting and redesign of existing motor required, regardless of manufacturer.
VIS brakes CSAus approved are available in the following versions:

Manual release
The manual release is an option available, it gives the possibility to release the brake in absence of current. It is a mechanical lever mounted on 2 fulcrums points moving the mobile anchor.
Microswitch
The VIS brakes can be equipped with a microswitch for air-gap or wear monitoring or for hand relase opening monitoring. The user must provide the corresponding electrical connection.
Thermistors
All the VIS brakes are equipped with a PTO thermal protection with temperature limit related to the temperature class of the brake required. It must always be connected when operating in order to prevent extra heating in hazardous areas. In alternative, we can apply a PTC thermistor to have a constant monitoring of the brake temperature through an external PLC.

* Values are calculated in dynamic application with an inertia applied to the brake so to create a sliding of the disk of 0,5 seconds maximum. In case of longer time of sliding of the disk calculation, please contact us.
The VIS brakes are designed to operate in heavy duty condition.
When using the VIS brake, pay attention to the values of maximum speed allowed, duty cycles and brake torque in relation to the inertia applied.
