11.3 Dynamic brake characteristics
11.3.1 Dynamic brake operation
(1) Calculation of coasting distance
Fig. 11.3 shows the pattern in which the servo motor comes to a stop when the dynamic brake is
operated. Use Equation 11.2 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.)

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 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 (11.2).
