For removal and installation of brake assembly

And air gap adjustments.

I. Air gap adjustment

As a result of brake wear during operation, upon replacement of brake assembly or some of its parts such
as the magnetic core (pos.4) or fan disc (pos.8), air gap adjustment between the magnetic core (pos.4) and
the anchor (position 6) shall be performed.
The air gap shall not exceed 0.8 mm.
Regular checks and adjustment after every 100000 cycles of operation is recommended, or at least once
annually.
The factory setting of the distance between core (pos.4) and anchor (pos. 6) is within 0.3 mm - 0.5 mm.
Attention: Before attempting any check or adjustment of the brake turn off motor power supply.
1. Unwind the screws (pos.1) and remove motor fan cover (pos.12);
2. Check the fan (pos.8) for brake lining wear (pos.7). If its thickness is less than 1 mm, replace the fan.
3. Using feeler gauge, check the air gap between the core (pos.4) and anchor (pos.6) at four points at 90 °
along the anchor circumference.
The results of the measurements shall be within 0.3mm - 0.8mm.
If not, make the following adjustments:
1. 1. Unwind the safety screw (pos.10) of the special nut (pos.9).
2. The air gap is adjusted by slightly winding or unwinding the special nut (pos.9). Check again if the space
between the core (pos.4) and the anchor (pos.6) is within 0.3 mm - 0.5 mm. If so, secure the special nut
against self-unwinding by winding the safety screw.
3. Place the fan cover (pos.12) and tighten the screws (pos.1).

II. Dismantling the brake assembly

Attention: Before attempting any check or adjustment of the brake turn off motor power supply.
1. Unwind the screws (pos.1) and remove the motor fan cover (pos.12);
2. Unwind the safety screw (pos.10) of the special nut (pos.9).
3. Unscrew the special nut (pos.9);
4. Carefully remove the brake fan with the lining (pos.8);
5. Remove carefully the anchor (pos.6);
6. Remove the springs (pos.11);
7. Disconnect and remove the cable [3] feeding the magnet [4] from the motor terminal box.

8. Unscrew and remove the bolts (pos.5) fixing the core (pos.6) to the rear bearing shield of the
motor .

Thus, brake assembly consisting of special nut, fan with lining, anchor, springs, magnet, and screws with
hexagon socket for attaching the magnet to the rear shield of the motor is dismantled..
Change brake unit with a new one, or replace damaged parts only, and assemble in reverse order.

III. Assembly of brake unit

1. Mount the magnet (pos.4) to the rear shield of the motor by winding the screws (pos.5);
Attention: The screws must be secured against self-unwinding with medium strength thread
protector, such as Loctite 243 for example.
2. Place the springs (pos.11) into the holes of the magnet;
