13.8.3 Dynamic brake characteristics
(1) Dynamic brake operation
(a) Calculation of coasting distance
Fig. 13.2 shows the pattern in which the servo motor comes to a stop when the dynamic brake is
operated. Use Equation 13.1 to calculate an ap proximate coasting distance to a stop. The d ynamic
brake time constant var ies with the servo motor and machine operatio n speeds. (Refer to (b). Please
contact us for the servo motor not indicated.)

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 external relay and a d elay of the magnetic
contactor built in the external dynamic brake.
