11. CHARACTERISTICS
11.2 Dynamic Brake Characteristics
When an alarm, emergency stop or power failure occurs, the dynamic brake is operated to bring the servo
motor to a sudden stop. Fig. 11.2 shows the pattern in which the servo motor comes to a stop when the
dynamic brake is operated. Use Equation 11.1 to calculate an approximate coasting distance to a stop. The
dynamic brake time constant τ varies with the servo motor and machine operation speeds. (Refer to Fig.
11.3.)

Use the dynamic brake at the load inertia moment indicated in the following table. If the load inertia
moment is higher than this value, the built-in dynamic brake may burn. If there is a possibility that the
load inertia moment may exceed the value, contact Mitsubishi.
