Brake monitoring

A brake (402) is monitored and comprises first (202, 204) and second (206, 204) braking surfaces and magnetizing means (210) that, in response to the electric current supplied to them, are arranged to generate a magnetic field that is arranged to move the braking surfaces (202, 204, 206) from a clos...

Zusammenfassung:A brake (402) is monitored and comprises first (202, 204) and second (206, 204) braking surfaces and magnetizing means (210) that, in response to the electric current supplied to them, are arranged to generate a magnetic field that is arranged to move the braking surfaces (202, 204, 206) from a closed state, in which the braking surfaces are connected to each other, to an open state, in which the braking surfaces (202, 204, 206) are separated from each other. The electric current of the brake is determined as the braking surfaces (202, 204, 206) begin to move from the closed state to the open state, the maximum electric current of the magnetizing means (201) of the brake (402) in the open state is determined, the condition of the brake (402) is determined as a current ratio from the electric current measured as the braking surfaces (202, 204, 206) start to move to the maximum electric current.
