12.3 Dynamic brake characteristics
12.3.1 Dynamic brake operation
(1) Calculation of coasting dista nce
Fig. 12.6 shows the pattern in which the servo motor comes to a stop when the dynamic brake is
operated. Use Equation 12.2 to calculate an approximate coasting distance to a stop. The dynamic
brake time constant varies with the servo motor and machine operation speeds. (Refer to (2) in this
section.)

te: Delay time of control section...........................................................................................................[s]
For 7kW or less servo, there is internal relay delay time of about 30ms. For 11k to 22kW servo,
there is delay time of about 100ms caused by a delay of the ex ternal relay and a delay of the
magnetic contactor built in the external dynamic brake.
(2) Dynamic brake time constant
The following shows necessary dynamic brake time constant for the equations (12.2).
