PLEASE NOTE
Increasing the overhang will decrease the spring preload and so the clamping force / brake
torque.
Decreasing the overhang will increase the spring preload and so the clamping force / brake
torque.
4. Check and – if necessary – re-adjust the reserve stroke.
When the clamping force has been increased (overhang x has become smaller, figure 11) the
reserve stroke might have become too small for a safe functionality of the brake.
In this case the re-adjustment of the reserve stroke can be done by successive opening and
closing the brake several times (approximately 40-50 cycles). Thus the readjusting unit sets the
brake in working position.
When the clamping force has been decreased (overhang x has become bigger, figure 11) the
reserve stroke might have become too high. In this case proceed as described in §5.1 just
without replacement of the brake linings.
CAUTION
Changing the spring preload and so the clamping force might influence the existing reserve
stroke, too. Because of this a re-adjustment is absolutely necessary. An insufficient or not
existing reserve stroke may lead to a failure of the brake.
The brake is ready for operation now.
