1. General notes
1.1 General safety instructions
Read these installation/operating instructions carefully before putting the brake into operation.
Consider these instructions as well as the drawings in the individual sections.
All work with and on the brake is to be carried out taking into account that "safety is top priority".
Switch the drive unit off before carrying out work on the brake.
Rotating parts (e.g. brake disc) must be secured by the operator against unintentional touching.
1.2 Special safety instructions
2. Design and function / parts list
2.1 Function
The brake is a machine element with which accelerated masses can be safely slowed down. In
combination with a brake disc, you have a complete brake for the effective safeguarding of
machines and systems. Thanks to its universal design, it fulfils the following functions:
•As a holding brake, it prevents a stationary shaft from starting unintentionally.
•As a stopping brake, it brings a rotating shaft to a halt.
•As a control brake, it maintains a particular tensile force within the material.
The braking force is produced by air pressure, and the brake is opened by springs of air
pressure.
2.2 Identification
These operating instructions apply for:
•The execution V, parallel attachment to the machine.
•The execution H, right-angled attachment to the machine.
•For brake disc thickness W = 12.5, 25, 30, 40 and for special widths.
•With thruster mounted right.
•With thruster mounted left.
Life-threatening danger!
When assembling, operating and maintaining the brake it is to be
ensured that the entire drive train is secured against being switched on
unintentionally. Moving parts can cause severe injury. Rotating parts
(e.g. brake disc) must be secured by the operator against unintentional
touching.
