Pintsch Bamag Brake Control Unit
The need for a more efficient, cost-effective method of brake monitoring led to the technical development and patenting of the BCU 2001 Brake Control Unit.
This innovative device records characteristic current and voltage variations, which are induced by the movement of the armature disk in the magnetic field of the brake coil. In an interference free and reliable manner it evaluates the signal levels in terms of the control state (applied or released ) and the maximum air gap (maximum wear).
It therefore takes on the role of the microswitch or proximity switch, and as a result, the sensors on the brake and corresponding wiring to the control cabinet are eliminated. The BCU 2001 is designed for cubicle-installation and can be flexibly integrated into the crane control system. Auxiliary voltages between 24 - 110V DC and 24 - 240 V AC are permissible, as they are relay contacts for the signal statuses “brake released” and “maximum air gap.” They are suitable for transmitting signals to a PLC or for AC voltages of 240V with switching currents up to 2A.
