Operation
SB 28.3
6 Operation
CAUTION!
Danger of injury from moving parts of the brake (e.g. when the brake sets).
Stay clear of the danger zone of the brake while the installation is running. It is the duty of the
operator to close off or enclose this area properly.
CAUTION!
Danger of pulling in due to moving rotating parts (brake disc).
Stay clear of the danger zone of the brake while the installation is running.
CAUTION!
Danger of burning due to hot surfaces and hot particles of the brake pad.
Brake pads and –disc must not be used over their maximum allowable temperature.
During the braking the following effects may occur:

o There may be an increased noise emission due to the friction of the brake pads on the brake disc.
o There may be vibrations, e.g. due to bad alignment.
o Brake dust is emitted into the atmosphere.
6.1 Normal operation mode
o The brake is normally (not energized) closed.

o In normal operation mode the following states are possible:
State of Thruster State of brake

Thruster not energized Brake set
Thruster energized Brake opens and remains open
Thruster is being switched off Brake sets automatically
Power down, emergency stop Brake sets automatically
6.2 Emergency stop and power failure
 In case of a power failure or after the EMERGENCY-STOP has been activated, the brake
automatically closes via spring force.
 The brake remains closed.

Operation
SB 28.3
6.3 Manual operation
DANGER!
Mortal Danger because of suspended load!
Release brake SLOWLY, so an attached load cannot move out of control!
Always watch the load so you do not miss the point, where the brake releases For this a 2nd
operator is necessary. One operator watches the load and sets the time for the releasing and
setting of the brake, the second operator opens or closes the brake with the manual release lever.
WARNING!
Danger due to a sudden starting of the drive in an unsafe condition. When using the manual
release lever, there is no safety device active anymore!
All tasks must only be carried out when the drive is at a standstill and secured.
Always release the brake carefully, so nothing can move out of control.
WARNING!
The Manual release lever is not suited to keep the brake open for maintenance tasks.
WARNING!
The manual release lever can be executed so it locks in the open position and the brake remains
open, even if you let go of the lever in that position. This state is not safe for the lowering of the
load!
Never keep the manual release lever locked in the open position during manual release!
By means of the lever the brake may be released manually in case of an emergency-situation, e.g. to
lower a load after an emergency stop.
The manual release lever may be equipped with a proximity switch „manual release control (7.24).
 Pull out locking pin (6.4).

 Pull manual release lever (6.1) up a bit.

6.3.1 Manual lowering of the load

ATTENTION! Incorrect manual lowering of the load may cause the brake disc temperature to rise
extremely rapidly, resulting in thermal overload or breakage of the brake disc. There is danger to your life!
It is imperative to make sure that the limit temperature is never exceeded during the manual
lowering of the load.
The following description gives recommendations how to manually operate service and emergency
brakes in case of an emergency lowering process.
Please assure that the brakes have been sized according to the applicable relevant crane standards
(FEM 1.001, DIN EN 13135, DIN EN 14492 …).
 Make sure that all brakes can be operated safely without any interference for hand lever operation.
Operators should be in safe distance of rotating and moving parts.
 A visual brake check needs to be performed (brake settings, damages, pollution of brake disc and
linings) and the real operation may only be started, if the brake system is in an proper condition!
 The brake disc temperature shall be measured in the friction zone by use of a contact thermometer
before the lowering process is started.
 Do not start to lower the load until the brake disc temperature is below
o 100 °C for steel brake discs
o 80 °C for LiTec® brake discs

Operation
SB 28.3
 Each brake must be operated by one person separately! Another person has to observe the load
permanently.
 Open the emergency brakes first.
 Open service brake (s) slightly until the disc is starting to turn. As soon as the disc is turning service
brake(s) has/have to be closed. (*)
 Measure the brake disc temperature in the friction zone after each lowering of the load.
The maximum permissible brake disc temperature is:

o For steel brake discs: 250 °C
o For LiTec® brake discs: 180 °C
 Once the maximum brake disc temperature is reached, the brake disc has to be cooled down
sufficiently! Check the brake disc and linings for damages.
 Before starting the next lowering try, the brake disc temperature must be below
o 100 °C for steel brake discs
o 80 °C for LiTec® brake discs
 Repeat the last four points until the load has been grounded.
In the event of slightest doubt that the brake or other equipment is not in proper condition or
other reasonable doubts in the practicability of the process it is necessary to stop immediately
lowering or to use additional cranes (e.g. mobile harbor crane) to lower the load.
In case the load cannot be stopped by the service brakes, the emergency brake(s) has/have to be
closed immediately.
(*): For manual release levers with stop (locking position):
 Do never open the hand lever to the locked position!
6.4 Switches and sensors
CAUTION!
In case the brake has been equipped with switches and / or sensors, it is not allowed to put these
out of operation or bridge them.
The data supplied by the sensors has to be processes in the installations control unit by the
customer.

7 Maintenance
DANGER!
During the maintenance the brake is not active. The overall braking force of the installation is
reduced!
Secure the drive and the installation against all accidental movements!
WARNING!
The Installation has to shut down during the cleaning process and has to be secured against
switching on again.
WARNING!
IMPORTANT!
Spiral springs have to be replaced after 2 Million cycles.
After that the full braking force cannot be guaranteed anymore!
IMPORTANT!
In case the contact force exceeds 65000 N and the setting time is smaller than 0.2 sec. the spring
unit and the AWC-unit have to be replaced after 2 Million cycles.
After that the correct functioning cannot be guaranteed anymore!
NOTE!
After a longer period of standstill, the surface of the linings can accumulate dirt and thus the
available braking torque will be reduced. Keep the brake pads and disc surface clean, e.g. by
performing a dynamic brake test.
NOTE!
All maintenance tasks must only be executed by trained and designated personnel!
Cotter pins at pins have to be opened, so they cannot fall out.

 When the supply voltage is switched on, the redundant way-valves (3) and (4) are energized and
close of the return line back into the tank. The motor is switched on, too.
 The pump (P) draws the hydraulic medium out of the tank (T) and generates a pressure- and volume-
flow moving the piston upwards into the end-position.
 The pressure limiting valve (1) protects the pump from overload.
 After the inductive sensor emits a signal for the end position, the motor (M) is switched off.
 The check-valve (2) and the seated valves (3) and (4) maintain the pressure at the cylinder.
 It prevents the oil from flowing back through the pump (P).
 The brake remains open.
 The piston rod may lower itself due to micro-leakages.
 In this case the inductive sensor emits a signal to restart the pump for a short period to compensate
the pressure drop.
Set brake
 When the supply voltage is switched off, the two way-valves (3) and (4) are switched off
simultaneously and allow the oil to flow back into the tank (T).
 The hydraulic pressure is released in about 0.2 seconds and the piston rod is moved back into its
original position by external spring force.
 Option S: The volume flow can be adjusted continuously by a throttle valve (5), if necessary. This can
result in a longer setting time of the brake
 The redundant execution of the way-valves (3) and (4) helps a safe setting even when one valve
should be blocked.

-25°C to+50°C and filled with hydraulic oil Morlina 10 of class HL10 DIN 51524.
-10°C to+60°C and filled with hydraulic oil Morlina 22 of class HL22 DIN 51524.
+5°C to+80°C and filled with hydraulic oil Morlina 46 of class HL46 DIN 51524.
Different temperature ranges require special fluids. This "long-life"-filling is not subject to wear or
contamination during operation, as long as the thruster is in perfect condition.
In case of refilling after repair, all other makes of class HL 10 DIN 51524 (-25°C to +50°C) / HL22
DIN 51524 (-10°C to 60°C) / HL46 DIN 51524 (+5°C to +80°C) may be used.
All bearings in the ELDRO thruster receive an original lubrication of grease with the long life grease
type K-L3n to DIN 51825 (for example SHELL Alvania R3). For other temperature ranges a special
grease is used
ELDRO thrusters in explosion-proof design are filled with a hardly inflammable hydraulic fluid
This fluid meets the requirements of the EN-Commission.
In case of refilling on site, the thruster has to be filled in vertical position up to the overflow screw or
to the filling limit of the charging connection, depending on the thruster type.
In order to prevent possible inclusions of air, run the unit through several strokes.
Then check oil level again and top up if necessary.
Finally, tighten charging connection and overflow screw.
