DESCRIPTION OF OPERATION
On this brake, the magnet coil is a separately enclosed unit mounted between an inner and outer armature. When the coil is
properly energized, the armatures are attracted to each other until their outer poles seal. The action of the armatures moves the
shoes away from the wheel. The inner armature moves the inner shoe and the outer armature moves the outer shoe. When the
coil is de-energized, the compression spring forces the armatures apart and presses the shoes againstthe wheel.
PROCEDURE FOR INSTALLATION AND OPERATION
(Refer To Dimension Drawing For Mounting Dimensions)
1. Assemble brake wheel “B” on motor shaft
2. Back off lock nut “U” and pull rod nut “P” about
one inch.
3. Back off lock nut “T”. Turn screw “C” clockwise to
lift the wedge at the top of the inner shoe lever “L”.
4. Slide the brake into place around the brake wheel
“B” and start bolts into the base mounting surface.
5. Loosen the holding screws “K” on both shoe
levers leaving only a light grip.
6. Push the shoe levers “N” and “L” against the
brake wheel “B” and check to insure shoes fit
evenly across the wheel face.
7. Bump the base into the best position to get the
most favorable fit of the shoes against the wheel
“B”. C/L of the wheel must be aligned with the
punch mark of base to obtain proper horizontal
positioning of the brake, and with C/L of shoe
pivot sockets to obtain the proper vertical
positioning of the brake.
8. If the mounting surface is not flat or is not parallel
to the shaft axis, shimming may be necessary.
Tighten the holding bolts to hold the base firmly in
place.

9. Be sure there is some spring pressure tending to
separate the two armatures “D” and “F”. This can
be tested by turning nut “G” clockwise. If nut “G”
cannot be turned, the gland inside is tight against
the stop on the screw and a maximum spring
pressure is applied.
10. Turn the screw “C” on the top of the inner shoe
lever counter-clockwise to move the wedge
downward until the inner armature “D” sounding
pin “E” is flush when pressed. Tighten locknut “T”.
Readjust after wheel has reached normal
operating temperature to allow for thermal
expansion of the brake wheel. Re-inspect and
adjust if necessary after several operations.
11. Tighten the pull rod nut “P” until the outer armature
“F” sounding pin “E” is flush when pressed. Tighten
locknut “U”. Readjust after wheel has reached
normal operating temperature to allow for thermal
expansion of the brake wheel. Re-inspect and
adjust if necessary after several operations.
12. Full torque is obtained by turning the torque
adjuster “G” until the gland inside is snug against
the stop. Less than full torque is obtained by
turning the torque adjuster “G” counter-clockwise.
Check the nameplate on the brake and the table in
paragraph 14 for maximum torque setting for the
duty rating of the brake.
13. With the brake set, tighten screws “K” on the shoes.
14. Note that when the brake is correctly adjusted for proper
stroke, the torque adjuster washer face stands clear of the
armature “F” surface. As the lining wears this clearance
decreases. If the adjustment is neglected, the brake
operation can become sluggish and when the torque
adjuster washer touches the armature, the torque drops
rapidly reaching zero when the flexure of the lever is used
up. The clearance dimension is not a measurable value
but is determined by proper adjustment of individual
brakes.

RENEWAL OF BRAKE SHOE LININGS
(Linings Fastened with Groov-Pins)
1. After removing the old lining and groov-pins,
clamp the new lining so it lies closely in the shoe.
2. Drill through the lining from the rear of the shoe
with no. 13 (.185) drill.
3. Counter-bore 9/16” to dimensions shown in the
sketch to the right. Bottom of counter-bore to be
135°included angle. (number of holes required

PROCEDURE FOR REMOVAL OF A SHOE
(Refer to Fig. 1 page 1)
1. Back off locknut “U” and nut “P” on the pull rod
“A”. or loosen locknut “T” and turn screw “C”
clockwise to lift the wedge to relieve the pressure
between the chosen shoe and wheel.
2. Remove screws “K” from the shoe being
removed.
3. Slide the shoe out sideways
4. Re-assemble new shoe into groove in shoe
lever. Do not tighten screws at this time.
5. Press the shoe against the wheel and tighten
screws “K”.
6. Readjust brake.

PROCEDURE FOR REMOVAL OF A SHOE LEVER
(Refer to Fig. 1, Page 1)
1. If removal of the outer shoe lever “N” is
required, loosen locknut “U” and back off nut
“P” until the pull rod “A” may be lifted up
around the pivot in the outer armature “F”.
2. Refer to shoe retainer “M”. Both sides of the
shoe lever are equipped with a lock bracket,
screw, and retainer plate. Bend back tab of
the lock bracket. Remove screw and retainer
plate. When re-installing and after tightening
the screw, bend the tab of the lock bracket
against the flat of the screw.
3. With the retaining plate removed, slide the
outer shoe lever “N” to either side of the
brake.
4. To remove the inner shoe lever “L”, loosen
locknut “T” and turn screw “C” clockwise until
the pressure of the shoe against the wheel is
relieved. Refer to shoe retainer “M”. Both
sides of the shoe lever are equipped with a
lock bracket, screw, and retainer plate. Bend
back tab of the lock bracket. Remove screw
and retainer plate. When re-installing and
after tightening the screw, bend the tab of the
lock bracket against the flat of the screw.
5. With the retaining plate removed, slide the
outer shoe lever “L” to either side of the
brake.
REPLACEMENT OF A COIL
(Refer to Fig. 1, Page 1)
1. Turn torque adjuster “G” counter clockwise
until the torque spring is loose.
2. Disconnect thee pull rod end from the outer
armature “F”.
3. Remove screws “H” from base.
4. Lift the outer armature “F” out of the pocket
in the base and pull outward.
5. Remove the screws “J” used to attached the
coil to the base pedestal and slide coil from
basepedestal.
6. Set the new coil on the pedestal and install
mounting screws “J”. Do not tighten at this
time.
7. Set the armature “F” back into position. The
spring gland of the torque adjuster must be
centered in the hole of the inner armature
”D”. Assemble angle bracket and screws “H”
and “R” with screws hand tight only.
8. Attach pull rod “A” to armature “F”.
9. Pull armatures “F” and “D” together
magnetically or by using a clamp. Tighten
screws “H” and the base such that a
clearance of 0.25 ±0.015 will be maintained
between the armature “F” and bracket “S”.
The clearance should be uniform. Remove
clamp (if used).
10. Adjust the torque spring and shoe positions
as described in the installation instructions.
PROCEDURE FOR RE-ADJUSTMENT FOR LINING WEAR
(Refer to Fig. 1, Page 1)
Periodic checks should be made on the
installation and when the sounding pins depress
more than 1/64” below surface, adjustments
should be made to compensate for normal lining
wear. This check and the adjustments should be
made when the wheel is at normal operating
temperature to allow for thermal expansion of the
wheel. Re-inspect after several operations.
1. Loosen the locknut “U” and tighten nut
“P” on the outer end of pull rod “A” until
the sounding pin in the outer armature
is flush with the surface when it is
pressed.
2. Loosen locknut “T”. Turn screw “C”
counter-clockwise to move the wedge
downward until the inner armature
sounding pin is flush when it is pressed
inward.
3. Tighten locknuts “U” and “T”.
It is recommended the brake shoe linings be
replaced when the lining thickness at the
center of the shoe has decreased to .125”
for riveted construction and .062 for bonded
construction. Use genuine OEM lining
material only to insure brake maintains
rated torque.
