Double disk brake: The new component in our safe brake systems
A popular solution for implementing safe brake systems in industrial environments or in event technology applications is the use of 2 parallel motors with individual brakes – a safe but not particularly compact or cost-effective solution.
With the introduction of the state-of-the-art BF../BT.. double disk brakes, SEW‑EURODRIVE has now made it possible for you to implement a safe brake system with 2 individual brakes on one single drive. Both of these double disk brake designs achieve the maximum performance level e (PL e) in industrial systems and event technology applications (in theaters, for instance).
The advantages of the double disk brake: Less installation space, less installation work and therefore lower costs. Supplementing a safe brake system, they provide completely new possibilities for man and machine in the area of functional safety.

Brakes for AC motors of the DR.. series
Features
Our DR.. motor series can be combined with the ideal BE.. brake to match your requirements for braking torque or braking work. Moreover, brakes mounted on motors larger than size 90 have an additional special feature. The brake itself is mounted on a friction plate, which only has to be attached to the end shield. That allows you to replace the unit with a larger or smaller brake without needing to open, remove or change the motor.
Our brakes can also be released mechanically when equipped with a manual brake release. Two options are available for manual brake release:
- For manual brake release with automatic reengaging function (..HR); a hand lever is included in the delivery.
- For the lock-type manual brake release (..HF), a set screw is included in the delivery.
You can choose from a range of brake controls for controlling disk brakes with a DC coil, based on the requirements and the operating conditions. All brake controls are fitted as standard with varistors to protect against overvoltage.
The brake controls are installed either directly in the terminal box on the motor or in the control cabinet. For motors of thermal class 180 (H) and explosion-proof motors (except the /3D category), the control system must be installed in the control cabinet. The different housings for the brake rectifiers have different colors (= color code) to make them easier to distinguish.
Brake control in the wiring space
The supply voltage for brakes with an AC connection is either supplied separately or taken from the supply system of the motor in the wiring space. The supply can come from the motor line voltage only when motors with a fixed speed are used. The supply voltage for the brake must be supplied separately with multi-speed motors and for operation with a frequency inverter.
Furthermore, bear in mind that the brake response is delayed by the residual voltage of the motor if the brake is powered by the motor line voltage. The brake application time specified in the technical data for the brake, which is t2l for cut-off in the AC circuit, applies only when the supply is separate.

Overview of technical data
The type and number of brake springs determines the level of the braking torque. Unless specified otherwise in the order, the brake is fitted with the maximum torquing brake MBmax as standard. Thanks to the additional brake spring combinations, the lower braking torque MBred can be chosen with the same brake size.

Functional safety
SEW‑EURODRIVE drives can be fitted with optional safety-rated components such as brakes and/or encoders.
An integrated safety-rated brake is clearly labeled by the FS logo (e.g. FS02) on the motor nameplate. This allows for the implementation of safety functions and their performance level evaluation according to EN ISO 13849-1.
Safety functions with our brakes
- SBA (safe brake actuation)
- SBH (safe brake hold)
Our static and dynamic brake diagnostics for the MOVI-PLC® controller is also available as a supplement to the safe brake system.
Areas of application
- Deceleration of motion, e.g. powertrains, rotary tables, etc.
- Fall protection, e.g. hoists
- Positioning drives

Brake options
As well as the HR manual brake release with automatic re-engaging function that can be used to release both individual brakes in the double disk brake simultaneously, a new HT manual brake release option is also available. In addition to the basic function of the HR option, it includes a special mechanical component on the manual release lever. This allows for the release of either of the individual brakes or both of the brakes together.
The double disk brakes are available from August 2015 in sizes BF11/BT11, BF20/BT20 and BF30/BT30 and with a rated braking torque from 2 x 20 Nm up to 2 x 300 Nm.
Special features:
- Manual brake release
- Contactless function and wear monitoring
- Special brake control
Other new additions to the program: The optional diagnostic unit for function and wear monitoring
The /DUE (diagnostic unit eddy current) brake
The sensor system provides continuous fully contactless function and wear monitoring for each individual brake. It displays the brake switching state, monitors the permitted wear and continuously measures the current working air gap.
