An industrial brake is not smart\u2014it opens and closes based on physics. To make it part of an automated system (PLC), you need eyes on it. That\u2019s the job of limit switches<\/strong>. They tell the crane control system “I am open, safe to lift” or “I am closed, motor off.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, limit switches are the #1 cause of nuisance faults in brake systems. A loose bracket or a wrong wiring logic can stop a critical production line. This article explains the three main switch types\u2014Brake Open<\/strong>, Brake Closed<\/strong>et Lining Wear<\/strong>\u2014and how to install and adjust them correctly on YWZ13 drum brakes<\/strong><\/a> et SH disc brakes<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sch\u00e9ma montrant l\u2019emplacement des interrupteurs : (A) Tige du thruster (Ouvert\/Ferm\u00e9), (B) Pivot de la chaussure de frein (Usure).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1) Pourquoi les interrupteurs comptent : la cha\u00eene de s\u00e9curit\u00e9 \u00ab Interverrouillage \u00bb<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Les interrupteurs ne servent pas uniquement pour l\u2019\u00e9clairage ; ils \u00e9vitent des dommages co\u00fbteux :<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Protection contre la surchauffe du moteur :<\/strong> L\u2019interrupteur \u00ab Ouverture du frein \u00bb emp\u00eache le moteur de faire avancer contre un frein ferm\u00e9.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Pr\u00e9vention de la chute de charge :<\/strong> L\u2019interrupteur \u00ab Fermeture du frein \u00bb confirme que le frein a saisi avant que le moteur ne lib\u00e8re le couple (preuve de couple).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Protection du disque\/tambour :<\/strong> L\u2019interrupteur \u00ab Usure \u00bb arr\u00eate la machine avant que les rivets ou les plaques de support ne marquent la surface de friction.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    2) Interrupteur 1 : Signal de d\u00e9verrouillage du frein (Rel\u00e2chement)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Fonction :<\/strong> Confirms the brake mechanism has fully released (shoes\/pads are clear of the wheel).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Emplacement d\u2019installation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    • Freins \u00e0 tambour (YWZ) :<\/strong> G\u00e9n\u00e9ralement mont\u00e9 sur le thruster. Il d\u00e9tecte lorsque la tige du pousseur du thruster s\u2019est \u00e9tendue \u00e0 sa limite. course de travail<\/em>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Freins \u00e0 disque (SH) :<\/strong> Mont\u00e9 sur le bras du caliper ou le cylindre hydraulique. D\u00e9tecte la r\u00e9traction du piston.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      Erreur courante<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      Setting the switch too “early.” If the switch triggers when the brake is only 50% open, the motor might start while the pads are still dragging. Adjustment Tip:<\/strong> Set the switch to trigger only when the brake is >90% released.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      3) Interrupteur 2 : Signal de frein ferm\u00e9 (R\u00e9gl\u00e9)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      Fonction :<\/strong> Confirms the brake has applied torque (springs have decompressed).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Critical Use Case:<\/strong> In hoisting, this signal is often used for “Torque Proving.” The drive holds the load at zero speed, commands the brake to close, and waits for this switch<\/em> before cutting motor power. If the switch doesn’t trigger (brake jammed open), the drive keeps holding the load to prevent a drop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      4) Interrupteur 3 : Signal d\u2019usure du rev\u00eatement (limite)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      Fonction :<\/strong> Triggers when the friction material has worn down to the replacement limit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      M\u00e9canisme<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      \u00c0 mesure que les garnitures s\u2019usent, les leviers de liaison du frein (bras) se d\u00e9placent plus vers l\u2019int\u00e9rieur pour toucher la roue. L\u2019interrupteur d\u2019usure d\u00e9tecte ce d\u00e9placement suppl\u00e9mentaire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      • Logique :<\/strong> G\u00e9n\u00e9ralement c\u00e2bl\u00e9 en \u00ab Normalement Ferm\u00e9 \u00bb (NC). Lorsque la limite d\u2019usure est atteinte, la came frappe l\u2019interrupteur, ouvre le circuit, et d\u00e9clenche une alarme de maintenance.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Ajustement :<\/strong> Doit \u00eatre r\u00e9gl\u00e9 avant<\/strong> les rivets touchent la roue (par exemple, \u00e0 2 mm d\u2019\u00e9paisseur restante).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

        5) Levier m\u00e9canique vs interrupteurs inductifs de proximit\u00e9<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
        Type<\/th>Avantages<\/th>Contre<\/th>Meilleur pour<\/th><\/tr><\/thead>
        M\u00e9canique (Levier\/Rouleau)<\/strong><\/td>Action simple, peu co\u00fbteuse, visible, pas d\u2019alimentation \u00e9lectrique n\u00e9cessaire pour l\u2019interrupteur lui-m\u00eame.<\/td>Les pi\u00e8ces mobiles s\u2019usent ; sensibles \u00e0 la poussi\u00e8re\/gel qui colle ; le levier peut se plier.<\/td>Applications int\u00e9rieures g\u00e9n\u00e9rales ; signaux \u00ab Usure \u00bb.<\/td><\/tr>
        Capteur inductif de proximit\u00e9<\/strong><\/td>Pas de contact (pas d\u2019usure), \u00e9tanche (IP67), r\u00e9sistant aux vibrations\/\u00e0 la salet\u00e9.<\/td>N\u00e9cessite un c\u00e2blage \u00e9lectrique ; plus difficile \u00e0 diagnostiquer visuellement (n\u00e9cessite une v\u00e9rification LED).<\/td>Grues \u00e0 haute fr\u00e9quence, environnements ext\u00e9rieurs\/portuaires, zones poussi\u00e9reuses.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

        Recommendation:<\/strong> For heavy-duty ports or outdoor conveyors, specify Inductive Proximity Switches<\/strong>. They eliminate the “bent lever” failures common with mechanical switches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        6) Logique de c\u00e2blage : N.O. vs N.C. pour la s\u00e9curit\u00e9<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

        Dans les circuits de s\u00e9curit\u00e9, une rupture de fil doit d\u00e9clencher une panne (\u00c9tat s\u00fbr), et non un silence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \n
        • Pratique standard :<\/strong> Utiliser Normalement ferm\u00e9 (N.C.)<\/strong> contacts pour la boucle de s\u00e9curit\u00e9.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Sc\u00e9nario :<\/strong> Si un fil est coup\u00e9 ou qu\u2019une borne vibre, le circuit s\u2019ouvre, le PLC voit \u00ab Fault \u00bb, et la machine s\u2019arr\u00eate en toute s\u00e9curit\u00e9. Si vous utilisez N.O., un fil coup\u00e9 ressemblerait \u00e0 \u00ab Tout va bien \u00bb jusqu\u2019\u00e0 ce que le frein \u00e9choue.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

          7) D\u00e9pannage des fausses alarmes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

          Si votre PLC continue de signaler \u00ab Fault de frein \u00bb mais que le frein semble en bon \u00e9tat :<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \n
          1. V\u00e9rifier la rigidit\u00e9 du support :<\/strong> Le support de montage de l\u2019interrupteur vibre-t-il ? Les supports fins battent lors des chocs de freinage, provoquant une perte de signal momentan\u00e9e (\u00ab chatter \u00bb).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          2. V\u00e9rifier l\u2019alignement de la cible :<\/strong> Pour les capteurs de proximit\u00e9, la cible m\u00e9tallique (came\/drapeau) passe-t-elle dans la plage de d\u00e9tection (g\u00e9n\u00e9ralement 2\u20135 mm) ?<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          3. V\u00e9rifier l\u2019hyst\u00e9r\u00e9sis :<\/strong> Les interrupteurs m\u00e9caniques ont un d\u00e9placement de \u00ab r\u00e9initialisation \u00bb. Si la liaison du frein a du jeu, elle peut se trouver juste sur le point de d\u00e9clenchement de l\u2019interrupteur, clignotant entre ON et OFF. Serrez les broches de liaison.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

            Most YWZ and SH brakes have pre-drilled mounting points for switches. We supply retrofit switch kits<\/strong> (brackets + cam + switch) that bolt onto standard models. Specify your brake model and voltage (e.g., 220VAC or 24VDC) for a quote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
