6 Product overview
6.1 Function
Function of the holding brake DACS
The holding of a piston rod and the stopping of the movement of a piston rod is effected by a pre-
loaded spring assembly which acts on the internal clamping collet.
In the event of exhausting or compressed air failure, the spring-loaded clamping collet causes the pis-
ton rod used by the customer or the round material to be blocked.
The spring-loaded system guarantees the fail-safe principle.
Releasing the clamp:
When compressed air is applied to the supply port, the clamping collet is opened by the pneumatically
driven release mechanism.
The piston rod / round material can then move freely in both axial directions.
For safety reasons, no readjustment or manual unlocking of the clamping collet is provided.
Function of the cylinder with holding brake DFLC/DFLG
The function of the cylinder with holding brake DFLC/DFLG corresponds to that of the holding brake
DACS.
In the cylinder with holding brake DFLC/DFLG, the holding brake is connected to a double-acting pneu-
matic cylinder and the spring-loaded clamping collet acts on the piston rod of the cylinder.

8.2 Installation
Permissible mounting when using the holding brake to stop movements
When stopping movements, higher forces and loads arise:
The fastening elements must be suitable for the forces occurring.
• Only mount the holding brake directly on the machine frame or install it with the flange mounting
FNC/FNG è 8.2.2 Vertical installation of the cylinder with holding brake.
8.2.1 Horizontal installation of the cylinder with holding brake
For horizontal installation when using the holding brake for holding, the foot mounting HNC/HNG
available as an accessory is recommendedèwww.festo.com/catalogue.
The HNC/HNG foot mounting is not approved for use with the holding brake to stop movements.
The piston rod may only be loaded in the direction of movement.
The piston rod must not be used to transmit transverse forces or torques.
With the flexo coupling available as an accessory, transverse forces or bending moments on the piston
rod can be prevented èwww.festo.com/catalogue.
