Yes on some complete brake models the hub bore can be located on the bottom center of the packaging label or the middle right of the nameplate. The bore is specified with a number followed by “H7”, or “J7”. Please refer to page 3 of our BFK458 Manual.
A caliper gauge can be used to measure the inner diameter of the hub. Another way to is to measure the diameter of the shaft.
The rated torque on basic module E can be reduced using the torque adjustment ring located in the stator.
Our BFK458 Brake is designed that you can adjust the air gap where with a BFK457 there is no air gap adjustment. Other than that both brakes utilize the same components, same mounting dimensions and provide the same high level of quality.
Dimensionally they are interchangeable.
Yes, the coil can reach temperatures up to 155 degrees Celsius (355 degrees F) causing the stator housing to get very warm.
By measuring the resistance (see table in the maintenance manual).
Electrical
You cannot add a microswitch to a brake that does not have one, however, the replacement of a brake with a defective microswitch is possible.
There is no plus or minus, polarity does not matter.
Refer to the chart in the BFK458 Brochure for proper selection.
A Spark Suppressor is required when you are switching on the DC Side.
A full wave rectifier drops your AC Voltage to DC Voltage by a factor of 0.9 (220vac x 0.9 = 200vdc).
A Half Wave Rectifier drops your AC Voltage to DC Voltage by a factor of 0.45 (220vac .0.45 = 100vdc).

Dynamic braking is when the brake is used to stop a load vs. Static braking is when the brake is used to hold the load in place after it has been stopped. Also known as a parking brake or holding brake.
For INTORQ Brakes a spring applied brake refers to a brake that when there is no power the brake is engaged where as with an electromagnetic brake you need to apply power to engage the brake.
Spring Applied Brakes are sometimes referred to as Saftey Brakes because with no power the brakes are engaged.
