12. CHARACTERISTICS
12.3 Dynamic brake characteristics
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 Fig. 12.7. Please contact
us for the servo motor not indicated.)

For 7kW or less servo, there is internal relay delay time of abou t 30ms. For 11kW to 22kW
servo, there is delay time of about 100ms caused by a delay of the external relay and a delay of
the magnetic contactor built in the external dynamic brake.
