S.2 Supplement
Brake Maintenance
Brake Motor
The brake motor (1) reduces the risk of
a person coming into contact with rotating
cutting parts as they decelerate and stop.
The brake (2) is intended to stop cutting
parts quickly when the safety circuit is
interrupted (opened) or when the stop button
or emergency stop button is pressed. See
Testing the Brake in this supplement for more
information.
The brake contains components that wear
and must be inspected regularly to ensure
the correct stop time. If the recommended
stop time is exceeded, adjust or repair the
brake promptly. See the following pages.
Urschel recommends that customers
operate the machine only if it has a brake
motor. The goal of Urschel is to help ensure
a safe machine operating environment.
Urschel can provide a quote for a brake
motor or brake repair parts. Please contact
Urschel with any questions regarding the safe
operation of your machine.
m WARNING
Failure to maintain the brake and
recommended stop time can lead to
serious injury such as amputation! An
improperly maintained brake can allow
excessive coasting time of rotating parts,
allowing an operator to remove guards
and expose rotating knives. Check the
stop time regularly. Adjust and repair the
brake to maintain the correct stop time.
