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>e Lining Wear<\/strong>\u2014and how to install and adjust them correctly on YWZ13 drum brakes<\/strong><\/a> e SH disc brakes<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Diagrama mostrando as posi\u00e7\u00f5es dos interruptores: (A) Pino do empurrador do propulsor (Aberto\/Fechado), (B) Pivot do sapato do freio (Desgaste).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1) Por que os Interruptores S\u00e3o Importantes: A Corrente de Seguran\u00e7a \u201cInterlock\u201d<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Interruptores n\u00e3o s\u00e3o apenas para luzes; eles evitam danos caros:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Prote\u00e7\u00e3o contra Sobreaquecimento do Motor:<\/strong> O interruptor \u201cFreio Aberto\u201d impede que o motor conduza contra um freio fechado.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Preven\u00e7\u00e3o de Queda de Carga:<\/strong> O interruptor \u201cFreio Fechado\u201d confirma que o freio agarrou antes que o acionamento libere o torque (prova de torque).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Prote\u00e7\u00e3o de Disco\/Tambor:<\/strong> O interruptor \u201cDesgaste\u201d para a m\u00e1quina antes que os rebites\/pratos de suporte risquem a superf\u00edcie de fric\u00e7\u00e3o.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    2) Interruptor 1: Sinal de Abertura (Libera\u00e7\u00e3o) do Freio<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Fun\u00e7\u00e3o:<\/strong> Confirms the brake mechanism has fully released (shoes\/pads are clear of the wheel).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Local de instala\u00e7\u00e3o<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    • Freios de Tambor (YWZ):<\/strong> Normalmente montado no propulsor. Detecta quando o pino do empurrador do propulsor foi estendido at\u00e9 ao limite. Curso de trabalho<\/em>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Freios de Disco (SH):<\/strong> Montado no bra\u00e7o do caliper ou cilindro hidr\u00e1ulico. Detecta a retra\u00e7\u00e3o do pist\u00e3o.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      Erro Comum<\/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) Interruptor 2: Sinal de Fecho do Freio (Ajuste)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      Fun\u00e7\u00e3o:<\/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) Interruptor 3: Sinal de Desgaste (Limite) das Forras<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      Fun\u00e7\u00e3o:<\/strong> Triggers when the friction material has worn down to the replacement limit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Mecanismo<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      \u00c0 medida que as forras se desgastam, as liga\u00e7\u00f5es do freio (bra\u00e7os) movem-se mais para dentro para contactar a roda. O interruptor de desgaste detecta este movimento extra.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      • L\u00f3gica:<\/strong> Normalmente ligado como \u201cNormalmente Fechado\u201d (NC). Quando o limite de desgaste \u00e9 atingido, a cremalheira bate no interruptor, abre o circuito e ativa um alarme de manuten\u00e7\u00e3o.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Ajuste:<\/strong> Deve ser ajustado antes<\/strong> os rebites tocam na roda (por exemplo, com 2mm de espessura restante).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

        5) Interruptores Mec\u00e2nicos de Alavanca vs. Proximidade Indutiva<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
        Tipo<\/th>Pr\u00f3s<\/th>Contras<\/th>Melhor Para<\/th><\/tr><\/thead>
        Mec\u00e2nico (Alavanca\/Rolamento)<\/strong><\/td>A\u00e7\u00e3o simples, barata, vis\u00edvel, sem necessidade de fonte de alimenta\u00e7\u00e3o para o interruptor em si.<\/td>Partes m\u00f3veis desgastam-se; sens\u00edveis a poeira\/geleira; a alavanca pode dobrar.<\/td>Aplica\u00e7\u00f5es internas gerais; sinais de \u201cDesgaste\u201d.<\/td><\/tr>
        Sensor de Proximidade Indutivo<\/strong><\/td>Sem contato (sem desgaste), selado (IP67), resistente a vibra\u00e7\u00e3o\/poeira.<\/td>Requer liga\u00e7\u00e3o de energia; mais dif\u00edcil de solucionar visualmente (necessita de verifica\u00e7\u00e3o com LED).<\/td>Guindastes de alto ciclo, ambientes exteriores\/portu\u00e1rios, \u00e1reas poeirentas.<\/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) L\u00f3gica de Wiring: N.O. vs. N.C. para Seguran\u00e7a<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

        Em circuitos de seguran\u00e7a, a quebra do fio deve disparar uma falha (Estado Seguro), n\u00e3o sil\u00eancio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \n
        • Pr\u00e1tica Padr\u00e3o:<\/strong> Uso Normalmente Fechado (N.C.)<\/strong> contatos para o circuito de seguran\u00e7a.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Cen\u00e1rio:<\/strong> Se um fio for cortado ou um terminal vibrar solto, o circuito abre, o PLC v\u00ea \u201cFalha\u201d e a m\u00e1quina para com seguran\u00e7a. Se usou N.O., um fio cortado pareceria \u201cTudo est\u00e1 bem\u201d at\u00e9 o freio falhar.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

          7) Resolu\u00e7\u00e3o de Problemas de Falhas Inc\u00f4modas<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

          Se o seu PLC continua a reportar \u201cFalha no Freio\u201d mas o freio parece estar bem:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \n
          1. Verifique a Rigidez do Suporte:<\/strong> O suporte de montagem do interruptor est\u00e1 a vibrar? Suportes finos balan\u00e7am durante os choques de travagem, causando perda moment\u00e2nea de sinal (\u201cchattering\u201d).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          2. Verifique o alinhamento do alvo:<\/strong> Para sensores de proximidade, o alvo de metal (cremalheira\/bandeira) passa dentro do alcance de dete\u00e7\u00e3o (geralmente 2\u20135mm)?<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          3. Verifique a Histerese:<\/strong> Interruptores mec\u00e2nicos t\u00eam um percurso de \u201creset\u201d. Se a liga\u00e7\u00e3o do freio tiver folga\/slop, pode ficar exatamente no ponto de disparo do interruptor, piscando On\/Off. Aperte os pinos de liga\u00e7\u00e3o.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

            Precisa de adicionar interruptores aos seus freios existentes?<\/h2>\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
