Dynamic brake operation
Calculation of coasting distance
The following figure shows the pattern in which the servo motor comes to a stop when the dynamic brake is operated. Use the
equation (10.2) to calculate the approximate coasting distance to a stop. The dynamic brake time constant varies with the
servo motor and machine operation speeds.

A working part generally has a friction force. Therefore, the actual coasting distance will be shorter than the maximum
coasting distance calculated with the following equation.
