Introduction

Warner Electric Electrically Released Brakes function on the same principle of “response to magnetic attraction” that operates other Warner

Electric brakes and clutches. Braking torque in these brakes depends on ceramic permanent magnets which have a high resistance to demagnetization. With the power off, the unit produces full braking torque. The brake is released by generating an electromagnetic field which opposes the field produced by the permanent magnets. An adjustable voltage or current control should be used to achieve best release.

Installation Instructions

Sizes FB-375 Through FB-650

Installing the Brake

Note: Failure to set autogap using the procedures in this manual may cause overheating and premature failure.

Step1:

The first installation step applies only to the optional motor adapter (See Figure 1). For installation on a double shaft extension motor or through shaft, proceed to Step 2A for the FB-

375 or Step 2B for the FB-475 or FB-650.

All parts must be clean and free from burrs or chips before assembly. Insert the motor shaft key in the motor shaft. Tighten the motor adapter set screws. Insert the sheave or sprocket key into the motor adapter keyway. Install the sheave or sprocket on the motor adapter either with a tapered bushing or straight bore. Install the belts or chain. To assemble the brake on the motor adapter proceed to Step 2A for the FB-

To disassemble, remove both screws and reinsert one screw in the vacant hole (threads on bushing). Tighten this screw until the bushing is loosened in the hub. If the bushing does not loosen, tap on the hub. Go to Step

3.

Installing The Torque Arm

Step 3:

The maximum length threaded rod is furnished for normal mounting. (Consult the factory for recommendations on a longer arm.)

The threaded rod can be cut to any desired length. One rod end must be secured to the tab on the Electrically Released Brake and the other end must be secured to a solid base. Although the torque arm may be mounted in either direction, the position of the tab and arm is important. Recommended position relative to shaft rotation is shown in

Figure 4. On reversing applications where the rod is in compression every other cycle, the rod must be relatively short, or a special heavier rod may be necessary.

Power Supplies for Electrically Released

Brakes. Electrical Connections and

Adjustments.

Step 4:

Connect the brake to an adjustable voltage/current control following the instructions for that control. Warner Electric’s controls are suitable for these brakes.

Note: FB brakes are polarity sensitive. The positive terminal of the brake must be connected to the positive terminal of the control and vice versa.

Note: For failsafe or Electrically released brake units (FBB, MBFB, FBC, ER or FB) see instruction on proper electrical setup procedure.

Instructions for setting the optimum release voltage of permanent magnet applied/electrically released brakes

In a permanent magnet applied/electrically released brake, the attractive force between the brake surface is created by permanent magnets.

The brake is electrically released by applying DC power to the electro-magnetic coil in the brake that opposes the permanent magnets.

Electrically released brakes are polarity sensitive: the positive lead of the power supply must be connected to the positive lead of the brake, and the negative lead of the power supply must be connected to the negative lead of the brake.

The power supply applied to the brake must also be adjustable so that the optimum release voltage for each individual brake can be determined and set.

The following procedure describes how to set the adjustable power supply to the optimum release point of the brake. A volt-meter is required to perform the procedure.

1. With the power off, connect the positive lead of the power supply to the positive lead of the brake and the negative lead of the power supply to the negative lead of the brake.

2. Connect a volt-meter to measure the voltage applied across the brake.

3. Adjust the power supply to its lowest possible output, then energize the supply to apply power to the brake.

4. Starting from the low point, slowly increase the applied voltage until the brake armature disengages from the magnet. Note and record the applied voltage at this point.

5. Continue to slowly increase the applied voltage until the armature re-engages the magnet. If the maximum voltage available from the supply does not cause the armature to re-engage, the armature should be manually assisted into engagement.

6. With the armature re-engaged, slowly reduce the applied voltage until the armature disengages from the magnet. Note and record the applied voltage at this point.

7. The optimum release point for the brake is half-way between the two recorded voltage readings. Adjust the supply to this optimum release voltage.

Autogap Adjustment

Step 5:

Turn the power on to electrically release the brake. The armature should spring back approximately 1/32-inch as shown. If the armature fails to disengage, turn the control knob on the brake control CCW to 0 and then

CW until the armature releases. You’ve now reached the minimum release voltage. The knob can be turned further CW to find the most favorable release point.

If the armature does not spring back, follow the autogap adjustment procedure as follows (refer to Figure 6):

Keep fingers clear of area between the magnet and the armature because the armature will be pulled sharply toward the magnet if the release voltage is altered for any reason.

1. With the brake power on, pull gently on the

O.D. of the armature to separate it from the magnet by a 1/32-inch or greater airgap.

Do not pry. This could damage the components.

2. Slide the detent spring retainer on each drive pin until it bottoms against the carrier.

If armature cannot be moved, check voltage and polarity. (See Operating Instructions

“Fails to Release” on page 8.)

3. Push against the drive pins to push the armature into contact with the magnet.

4. Release the drive pins and the armature will spring back approximately 1/32-inch. The armature gap will now be provided by the autogap mechanism.

Operating Instructions

A worn out Electrically Released Brake can lose its ability to produce torque. Consequently, it is imperative that the brake be inspected frequently for wear and to insure that it engages and disengages properly. The frequency of inspections is dictated by usage; a brake used in a high cycle rate and/or heavy load application must be inspected more often than one used less severely. Experience will determine proper inspection intervals.

The end of normal service will occur when the armature wears through the friction material and into the coil, causing an open circuit and failure to release when voltage is applied. Brake wear is determined by two checks. The first determines whether the brake is about to lose torque; the second ensures that the armature has not worn through the friction material, endangering the coil. If either of these checks indicates excessive wear, the unit should be replaced.

Check No. 1

Examine the three autogap release springs to assure that none of them are approaching total compression. If any one of them is approaching total compression or if the distance from the underside of the drive pin head to the top of the detent cup washer is less than .062 inch, the brake should be replaced.

Must be greater than

.062 inch

Check No. 2

A step is machined on the O.D. of the brake magnet where the armature and magnet meet.

This step is equal to the friction material thickness. When this step is completely covered by the armature with the brake engaged, the brake is worn out and should be replaced.

Worn out

Check No. 2

After completing an inspection with the machine turned off, cycle it several times. If the

Electrically Released Brake stopping time has more than doubled since the original set-up, this also indicates the brake is worn out and should be replaced.

Foreign Materials: If units are used on machinery where fine, abrasive dust, chips or grit are dispelled into the atmosphere, a protective screen over the unit may be necessary. Where

units are used near gear boxes or transmissions requiring frequent lubrication’s, means should be provided to protect the friction surfaces from oil and great to prevent serious loss of torque by reducing the coefficient of friction and swelling the friction material.

Oil and grease accidentally reaching the friction surfaces may be removed by wiping with a rag dampened with a suitable cleaner, which leaves no resdue. In performing this operation, do not drench the friction material. If the friction material has been saturated with oil or grease, no amount of cleaning will be completely effective.

Once such a unit has been placed back in service, heat will cause the oil to be boiled to the surface resulting in further torque loss.

The drive pins should be kept free of foreign materials to ensure proper function of the brake.

Fails to Release: If the Electrically Released

Brake does not release completely, make the following checks:

1. Check that the electrical connections (polarity) between the brake coil and the power supply are correct for the power supply being used (refer to Step 4, page 6).

2. Connect a DC voltmeter across the brake terminals. (Do not disconnect the leads to the terminals.) The voltmeter should indicate a voltage in the range of 75 to 110 volts.

3. The above checks are normally sufficient.

Further checks may be made by checking the brake coil resistance.

a. Turn off the power to the brake.

b. Disconnect one lead from the coil to make sure the circuit is open.

c. Connect an ohmmeter across the brake terminals. The resistance should be as shown:

24V Coil Resistance 90V Coil Resistance

Brake Size at 20°C (±10%) at 20°C (±10%)

FB-650

A very high or infinite resistance reading would indicate an open coil. A very low resistance would indicate a shorted coil. In either case, the unit should be replaced.

Wear Pattern: Wear grooves appear on the friction surfaces. This is a normal wear condition, and does not impair functioning of the unit.

Never machine the friction surfaces to remove grooves or score marks resulting from normal wear.

There are two main wear parts, magnet and armature. When either is worn out, the complete brake must be replaced.

Heat: Excessive heat and high operating temperatures are causes of rapid wear. Air should be allowed to circulate around the unit as efficiently as possible, especially if the application requires fast, repetitive cycle operation.

If the above checks indicate that the proper voltage and current is being supplied to the coil, mechanical parts should be checked to assure that they are in good operating condition and properly installed.

Frequently Answers and Questions

How to determine the optimum release voltage for the brake?
Connect the brake to an adjustable voltage/current control and follow instructions in the control manual. Connect a voltmeter to measure the voltage applied across the brake. Slowly increase the voltage until the brake armature disengages from the magnet, and note the voltage. Continue to slowly increase the voltage until the armature re-engages the magnet. The optimum release point for the brake is halfway between these two voltage readings. Adjust the supply to this optimum release voltage.
How to check for brake wear?
Examine the three autogap release springs to see if any are approaching total compression or if the distance from the underside of the drive pin head to the top of the detent cup washer is less than .062 inch. If so, replace the brake. Also, check the O.D. of the brake magnet to see if the armature has worn through the friction material and into the coil. If the step machined on the O.D. of the magnet is completely covered by the armature, the brake should be replaced.
What should I do if the brake does not release completely?
Check that the electrical connections are correct and in good condition. Make sure the voltmeter reading is in the range of 75 to 110 volts. Further checks can be made by checking the brake coil resistance.
