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.
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.
DANGER!
Mortal Danger because of suspended load!
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).
6.4
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
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.
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!
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.
The actuating roll (7.12) moves into the sensing range of the
switch (7.21) “set-control” and the switch is actuated.
The actuating roll (7.12) moves out of the sensing range of the
switch (7.22) “release-control” and the switch is idle.
Wear control
2.16
The proximity switch is screwed (7.23) into the crosspiece
(2.16) of the AWC.
When the brake is set correctly, the switch is not actuated.
7.23
With growing wear, the spindle (2) moves into the crosspiece
(2.16).
As soon as the wear reaches the critical value, the switch
(7.23) is actuated.

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!
Danger of injury from moving parts of the brake (e.g. when the brake sets).
The Installation has to shut down during the cleaning process and has to be secured against
switching on again.
WARNING!
A sudden startup of the installation endangers the life of the maintenance personnel!
Secure the drive and the installation against any accidental movement before starting any work!
IMPORTANT!
Spiral springs have to be replaced after 2 Million cycles.
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.
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!
Check the brake/brake system outside the regular inspection intervals if:
Prolonged braking times or -distances appear
Extreme operating conditions appear:
Overspeeding of the brake disc
And/or excessive braking times
A proximity switch indicates lining wear or lack of releasing stroke
After a longer period of brake-standstill or drive standstill.
An emergency stop occurred.
NOTE!
In case the brake is used as holding brake or with low dynamic braking requirement, the surface
of the sintered lining will 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.
7.2 Lubrication
Because of the maintenance-free bushings installed on the brake, no lubrication is needed. Neither
additional lubrication nor greasing is allowed.
7.3 Cleaning
WARNING!
Danger due to chemical substances.
Do not use corrosive or acidic agents to clean the brake. Only use fat-dissolving cleaners (e.g.
brake cleaner) and proper cleaning materials like cloth. The cleaning must be carried out with
proper tools and agents. Never use tools like high-pressure cleaners or a wire brush.
The braking force can only be transferred to the brake drum when both contact surfaces (brake disc and
brake pads) are clean.
Make sure they are free from fat, oil, rust and other contaminations.
Keep all movable parts of the brake clean
The brake itself has to be kept clean as well.
After a certain time the brake shoes may tilt, so the air gaps
are much smaller at the lower end of the brake shoes.
Release brake with thruster.
Hit the brake shoes several times with a plastic hammer /
rubber mallet at the upper rear edge (refer to indicated
position) so the upper edge of the brake pads touch the brake
disc.
Open and close brake several times.
The brake shoe aligns itself by means of thrust pieces,
mounted inside the brake shoes.
Check air gaps.
Adjust, if necessary
The catch (2.7) and the free wheel (2.6) may be object to wear. Recognized by a constant reduction of
the reserve stroke in case of lining wear, although the AWC is actuated. Procedure:
Rotate nut (2.14) clockwise to compensate lining wear and thus the reduced reserve stroke.
Replace worn parts resp. the complete AWC unit as soon as possible!
NOTE!
For this task, two persons are necessary.
Store all removed parts in the correct order of assembly.

o draw-in points,
o parts such as the housing in particular can become hot after braking.
o In case of a power failure or after the EMERGENCY-STOP has been activated, the supply voltage of
the BUEL®-thruster is cut off.
o Due to the fail-safe principle the des BUEL®-thruster is idle and the brake automatically closes via
spring force.
o A controlled opening of the brake is now only possible by means of the manual release device of the
brake.
o In case of a power down the brake also sets automatically.
IMPORTANT!
The installation has to be secured against uncontrolled starting in case the supply voltage is
switched on again.
o The pre-set setting time of the brake does not change in case of an Emergency-stop or a power
failure.
Assembly, start-up and maintenance work on the mechanical and electrical devices may only be carried
out by authorized specialists with due observance of the safety regulations and accident prevention
regulations.
The assembly and maintenance jobs specially explained in these Operating Instructions must be carried

Release brake
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.

4 Maintenance
Warning!
A sudden startup of the installation endangers the life of the maintenance
personnel! Secure the drive and the installation against any accidental
movement before starting any work!
Being an enclosed System, the ELDRO-thrusters are low maintenance. Check the thruster for
leakages regularly. In case of a leakage an authorized specialist has to be called.
For further maintenance-instructions refer to the operating manual of the brake.
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.
