Brake Model Selection Brake model selection depends totally on type of brake application. B Series brakes can be applied to general situations like power-off braking; S Series of high protection class for environments with more dust or outdoors; crane dedicated brakes for hoisting purpose; low-noise brakes for elevators, stages and other cases of low noise request. If you have special requirements on the response time or other functions of brakes in application environments, please contact suppliers. After the confirmation of brake model, the braking torque should be calculated based on the condition of loading. The calculation rules are shown below: Safety factor: K 2 Load calculation: The dynamic load is usually calculated according to the following formulas: Generally, both dynamic load and static load coexist in practical use, M load ). K M k when the braking torque and static torque have the same direction when the braking torque and static torque have the opposite directions With the known power of brake motor, the braking torque can be estimated according to the following formula: Calculation of friction power: If the braking frequency is very high and the frictional power consumption for each braking is large, the thermal load needs to be considered. The formula for calculating frictional power consumption is as follows: when the braking torque and static torque have the same direction when the braking torque and static torque have the opposite directions Notice: When calculating the friction power in the process of descent in the field of hoisting, the kinetic energy converted from the gravitational potential energy of load during the process of braking delay should also be considered in addition to the inertia of the system. The specific value should be: The actual friction power with gravity load is:

When the brake is released, the Stator Coil (7) will be driven by DC current, and the magnetism generate force produced would make Armature Plate (6) push Springs (8) to draw to the stator, when the Rotor (4) is released, braking action is cancelled. 7.Coil 6.Armature Axial movement component Rotating component = = F F F Fixing component Assembling surface = page 7

B Series Instruction for Installation 3.Rotor 10.Screw 7.Stator 4.Hub 5.Shaft 6.Friction plate If no suitable friction surface is available, a flange or Friction Plate (6) can be installed as showed in the picture. Fix Hub (4) on Shaft (5) axially. A clearance of 0.5-1mm is usually maintained between the hub and the installation surface so as to avoid obstructing the rotation of the shaft. The existence of this gap prevents collision between the hub and the friction dual faces in excessive axial movement. Do not knock the hub brutally; avoid inclined assembly. To preclude axial float of the hub, please fix it on the shaft with a C clip ring. Install Rotor (3) on Teeth Hub (4). The rotor and hub tooth should be alignment, wheel pushing instead of knocking brutally. In order to lower noise, seal with silica gel between the hub involute tooth profile, and then load the rotor. Insert Set Screw (10) into the hole of Stator (7) and connect it to the corresponding friction surface. Locking torque see table. Dismantle the transport support. Check the gap. Ensure the friction surface is protected from lubricating oil or grease. Energized

B Series Instruction for Adjustment > Data of installation and adjustment Rated air gap S Max air gap S max Handle gap S1 Tightening torque(nm) Allen wrench size(mm) Open end wrench size(mm) Service life (adjustment) Adjustment is needed once the brake air gap S reaches the Smax. Friction power consumption is a function of a multitude of factors, such as moment of inertia, braking speed, braking frequency and friction surface temperature. Therefore it is necessary to make some adjustment so as to keep the friction power consumption in an optimum status. > Installation of hand release The hand release may be installed after the brake is assembled. Firstly insert the bolt with shim and springs in the pre-opened hole so that it runs through the armature and the magnet, then install the release handle, and have it connected to the handle pin.
> Adjustment of air gap While the bolt loosened and power off, rotate the hollow screw tube so that the air gap is adjusted to the rated value in the table with the aid of a feeler gage. Mind that the gap is uniform on the entire perimeter. Tighten the bolt after the desired air gap is obtained. The rated air gap S increases as a result of wearing. To ensure the brake provides sufficient braking torque, the air gap must be adjusted before it reaches the maximum value (Smax) indicated in the table. The adjustment may be made repeatedly. The brake noise is closely related to the air gap value; for application where low noise is required, it is recommended to adjust the gap before it reaches the maximum value. Too excessive an air gap may result in release failure of braking power or reduced braking torque and holding torque, or even lead to serious accidents. Therefore it is imperative to check and adjust the air gap when necessary. Note that the mains switch of the machine must be off before attempting any adjustment. Adjusting method: Check the brake air gap. Release mounting screws firstly if needed to adjust gap. > Attention for installation Tighten mounting screws. Use a wrench rotating hollow screw tube to adjust air gap, rotating clockwise sense to adjust bigger, anti-clockwise sense to smaller. For the friction dual faces, the surface roughness Ra shall not exceed 3.2, the surface shall be made of smooth cast iron or steel; the friction face shall be free of any sharp point. A friction disk or flange may be used where no suitable smooth face is available. The length of key of the fixed sleeve should be the same as the length of the sleeve keyway. Temperature: The insulation level of the brake is 155, the brake shall work at an ambient temperature of -20 ~50. Humidity and water droplets: If water droplets attached on the surface of friction, friction will be temporarily low before drying, please take the strategy of protection cover installation. The brake surface will produce gel when working in high temperature difference environment, which can be solved by using heating zone or high grade packaging. In addition water attachment will lead to rust, which may cause locking in serious situation. Ventilation: The brake had better install in well-ventilated environment, because friction power consumption is transformed into heat. If forced cooling by air blower, it is very effective to increase the friction work. Please
Antirust: Poor storage, harsh environmental conditions and other factors will cause brake rust. The friction surface of the serious corrosion will affect the braking torque, damage the friction surface, even cause locking, although slight corrosion will not. Sparks: Brake may produce sparks because of friction. Please consider the explosion-proof design if it is used in flammable and explosive environment. Magnetic shielding of stator: The brake influenced by the measurement instruments and machines In the vicinity of it may have noise or false action, which can be solved by magnetic shielding device. Non conducting magnetic material is usually used as the material of the mounting surface and shaft of the stator. Wire protection: Brake cable of UHT has many advantages such as UV protection, anti aging, cold resistance and heat resistance and so on. If the wire is damaged, it will cause short circuit or open circuit, which should be prevented at the beginning of the design. When screw the screw on flange through the brake, there should be a hole with Φ6 and depth no less than d1 between end covers of electric generators and flange, which ensure adjustment of air gap. While other installation method, make sure that depth of threaded hole on end covers of electric generators is no less than 3 times of d1. > Common Malfunction Analysis Coil anomalies (including coil short circuit, open circuit, and abnormal insulation): Measure coil resistance and insulation resistance with a multimeter and a megger, check whether coil resistance and insulation is good or not. If the coil resistance or insulation is abnormal, please replace the stator. Deviation of air gap and handle gap (including too-big or too-small): Check the gap with feeler to make sure it is in specified range. Control Sequence problem: Mismatch of the electric machinery start/stop control program and brake response time, may aggravate the wear, reduce service life of the brake and the electric machinery, and even worse, wear to out of service in 3-5 days or over burnt coil. Rotor life problem: Please replace the rotor when it wears to very thin. Line problem: Please check whether the line connection is normal. Action problem: Verticality between mounting end face and shaft is too big. Rectifier exceptionally: Please check whether Micro switch become invalid, check with a multimeter whether the micro switch contact can be triggered by braking normally and whether the micro switch can be triggered manually. If the micro switch cannot be triggered manually(broken) or it cannot be triggered by braking after adjusting, please replace the micro switch. > Instruction for use of the micro switch The micro switch is applicable to actuation detection and wear detection. Adjust the air gap between the armature and the stator to the standard value while actuation detection. After the brake is powered, test whether the micro switch has the ON/OFF signals with the multimeter. If there is not a signal, check whether the brake is released (i.e. the armature is drawed by the stator coil). If it is released, open the brake and adjust the screws on the armature, which touch the micro switch contacts, until the micro switch has the signal that the brake can be released; then tighten the screws with glue and nuts. The electric generators cannot be started until the micro switch has a signal. The micro switch s trigger position can be adjusted as well to realize the gap detection. When the air gap is too long, the micro switch will not be triggered, the generator s contactor cannot actuate, so the motor will not be started. In this case, adjust the clearance between the armature and the stator to the standard value. Actuation detection and wear detection cannot be done by the same micro switch. Only one of them can be chosen. If both actuation detection and wear detection are required, please inform the supplier. Nut Adjusting bolt Stator Micro Switch
> Accessories of B Series Brake > Handle The handle is used to release the brake manually. After the manual operation, handle can return to its original positions automatically. The release screws are installed inside the spherical hinges of the handle and are tensioned. Gap S1 is the distance between the armature and the spacer.

> Dust-shield The dust-shield can prevent external dust and other dirty things from entering the brake to a large extent. It covers the brake externally and is embedded into a groove. If there is not an appropriate groove in the motor s installation side, it is suggested a flange or a friction plate be used. Unit Friction plate If there is a well-processed surface on the machine body, which cannot be used as the friction surface, e.g. the aluminum shell, the friction plate can be used. Frame size of 06-16 can be provided. Unit
Flange The flange can be used when there is not an appropriate friction surface on the machine to use. Unit Micro switch The micro switch can detect whether the brake is released and feed back a switching value signal, to prevent the generator starting when the brake is in the operating state and protect the motor effectively.
