4 - MAINTENANCE
Always disconnect the brake motor from its power supply
before working ont the brake.
4.1 - Dismantling for FCR brake motors
- Dismantle the brake motor using the correct tools (hub remover,
bearing remover, plastic or leather mallets, correctly sized keys and
screwdrivers, circlips pliers, etc.).
- Disconnect the brake motor from its power supply.
- Open the terminal box, locate the wires and mark their position
(power supply to the motor and the brake, probes, etc.).
- Disconnect the power supply wires from the motor terminal block and
the brake power supply unit (+ and - terminals).
- Unscrew the handle of the lever 53.1 when tted (following procedure
§4.2).
- Unscrew the cover screws 40, remove the steel cover 23.
- Remove the brake nut 24.
- Remove the sealing ring 50.
- Place an extractor with 2 arms pressing on the end of the shaft and
two arms on the armature pins 11.
- Remove the brake lining fan 15 and the armature 11.
- Mark the position of the springs 28 and remove them.
- Unscrew the assembly rods 5.
- Put aside the front shield 3.
- Pull out the stator housing 1 taking care not to damage the winding.
- Remove the internal circlip 6 to free the brake shield 8.
- Clean the parts:
• by blowing the electrical parts (do not use solvents or products
containing moisture);
• using a non slippery degreasing agent for the mechanical parts;
• using a scraper for the anges;
• if parts 11 and 15 are slippery: change part 15 and degrease part 11
with a non slippery degreasing agent.
- Change the seals and the bearings.
- Disconnect the bridge rectier and check the insulation of the stator
(>10 megOhms).
- Mark all faulty parts so that replacement parts can be ordered.
4.2 - Reassembly for FCR brake motors
- Lightly grease the shafts and bearing cages.
- Cover the seal lips with grease and put the seal back carefully (use
the protection sockets of the drive shaft keyway).
- Working in reverse order, assemble the motor.
- Replace the pressure springs 28, change the sealing ring 50.
- Position the housing 11, reposition the brake lining fan 15.
- Adjust the air gap (see above).
- Position the sealing ring 50.
- Fit on the lever 53 (following procedure bellow).
- Replace the steel cover 23 and x it using the cover screws 40.
- Reconnect the brake power supply unit, and any probes, and then the
motor - making sure that the wires are in the correct order - and close
the terminal box.
- Check that it works correctly (if this is not the case check that the
release lever is in the right position before coupling to the machine).
Desmantling, reassembling the brake lever (option: DLRA)
Desmantling the brake lever DLRA
- Unscrew the handle of the lever 53.1 (if tted on the hand release
lever).
- Unscrew the cover screws 40, which keep the cover 23 in place.
- Unscrew the two screws 53.3, release the spring 53.4.
- The hand release 53.2 may be removed.
Reassembling the brake lever DLRA
- Position the hand release 53.2 around the brake housing.
- Assemble the screw on the right 53.3 (when viewed from the output
shaft of the motor).
- Assemble the other screw 53.3 and get ready with the spring 53.4.
- Compress the spring 53.4 close to the maximum distance larger than
the section of brake lever 53.2 and smaller than the distance between
the screws on the brakes housing.
- Assemble the cover 23 and the screws 40.
- The handle 53.1, clipped to the stator, will be assembled, if needed to
release the brake.
4.3 - Adjustments
Adjusting the air gap
The air gap needs to be adjusted when the release mechanism no
longer functions normally.
- Unscrew the handle of the lever 53.1 when tted (following procedure
§4.2).
- Unscrew the cover screws 40 which keep the steel cover 23 in place.
- Remove the steel cover 23. Unscrew the brake nut 24, and remove
the sealing ring 50. Clean the parts: removal of lining’s friction dust.
Insert a 0.4 mm shim between the brake shield 8 and the armature 11.
Tighten the brake nut 24 so as to obtain working play of 4/10th between
armature 11 and brake shield 8 (the shim should slip slightly).
- The brake nut 24 should be changed after 3 adjustments.
- Replace the sealing ring 50. Replace the lever 53 (following proce-
dure §4.2).
- Replace the steel cover 23 and tighten the cover screws 40.
Adjusting the braking torque
- The braking torque depends on the number of springs and their
colour; use the values shown in the table on §4.4.
