						General Description

Typical Nameplate

Important

Please read these instructions carefully before installing, operating, or servicing your Stearns Brake. Failure to comply with these instructions could cause injury to personnel and/or damage to property if the brake is installed or operated incor- rectly. For definition of limited warranty/lia- bility, contact Rexnord Industries, LLC, Stearns Division,5150 S. International Dr., Cudahy, WI 53110, (414) 272-1100.

Caution

1.Installation and servicing must be made in compliance with all local safety codes including Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA). All wiring and electrical connections must comply with the National Electric Code (NEC) and local electric codes in effect.

2.Do not operate the brake in atmospheres containing explosive gases or dusts.

3.To prevent an electrical hazard, disconnect power source before working on the brake. If power disconnect point is out of sight, lock disconnect in the off position and tag to prevent accidental application of power.

4.Make certain power source conforms to the requirements specified on the brake nameplate.

5.Be careful when touching the exterior of an operating brake. Allow sufficient time for brake to cool before disassembly. Surfaces may be hot enough to be painful or cause injury.

6.Do not operate brake with housing removed. All moving parts should be guarded.

7.Installation and servicing should be performed only by qualified personnel familiar with the construction and oper- ation of the brake.

8.For proper performance and operation, only genuine Stearns parts should be used for repairs and replacements.

9.After usage, the brake interior will con- tain burnt and degraded friction mate- rial dust. This dust must be removed before servicing or adjusting the brake.

DO NOT BLOW OFF DUST using an air hose. It is important to avoid dispersing dust into the air or inhaling it, as this may be dangerous to your health.

These series of brakes are spring-set, electrically released. They contain one or more rotating friction discs (4) driven by a hub (16) mounted on the motor or other shaft.

Operating Principle

These series contain one or more friction discs (4) assembled alternately between the endplate (2) friction surface, stationary disc(s) (3) and pressure plate (also called stationary disc) (3). The stationary disc(s) are restrained from rotating by being keyed into the endplate. With the brake released, all disc pack components are free to slide axially and the friction disc(s) to rotate.

Brake release occurs when the solenoid coil is electrically energized, causing the solenoid plunger to travel a specified distance and through a lever system, overcoming the pressure spring force. This action releases the clamping force on the disc pack, thereby allowing the friction disc(s) and brake hub to rotate.

Brake sets and torque is produced when electric current to the solenoid coil is interrupted, thereby collapsing the solenoid magnetic field. The solenoid plunger returns to its original de-energized position allowing the lever arm to move forward by virtue of the compressed torque springs. This action compresses the disc pack components which applies a retarding torque to the brake hub and ultimately restores the brake to a spring-set static condition.
