Replacing the brake rotor on the hoist drive

 

Continue reading here to replace the brake rotor on the four-pole hoist drive with frequency converter. To replace the brake rotor on the pole-switchable hoist drive, see the product manual “Pole-switchable, modular ABUS hoist drive for wire rope hoists”.

 

Only for four-pole hoist drive with frequency converter

This section only applies if the wire rope hoist has a four-pole hoist drive with frequency converter.
