If the brake lining on the drive is thinner than permitted, then the fan blade with brake lining must be replaced.

When replacing the fan blade with brake lining, it is recommended that the anchor plate be replaced as well.

   Take off the fan cover.

   Hold the fan blade firmly and unscrew the self-locking nut.

   Remove the fan blade with brake lining.

When replacing the fan blade with brake lining, it is useful to replace the anchor plate as well. If the anchor plate is not to be replaced, this section may be skipped.

   Screw the collar screws (2x) out.

●   The anchor plate is pressed away from the motor. It is tensioned by a spring.

   Remove the anchor plate. Ensure that the compression springs do not fall out.

If the O-ring, plate springs, compression springs or the feather key are missing or damaged, they must be replaced. If the components are in a good condition, this section may be skipped.

Assemble the plate springs as shown in the illustration.

   Push the plate springs onto the motor shaft.

   Insert the feather key.

   Place the O-ring into the groove on the brake bearing shield.

   Insert the compression springs.

   Hold the fan blade firmly and screw the self-locking nut until hand-tight. The fan blade should just be tight enough that it almost cannot be turned.

●   The air gap is now set to 0 mm. This serves as the starting point for the following setting.

The self-locking nut is now released in order to optimally adjust the air gap of the brake. The releasing of the self-locking nut is oriented to the individual segments of the fan blade.

   Hold the fan blade firmly and release the self-locking nut by the amount of two and one half segments of the fan blade.

●   The air gap is now set to the optimal width of 0.4 mm.

To make sure, check that the distance between the brake bearing shield and the anchor plate (reference gap) is between 3.1 mm and 3.7 mm. See Inspecting the brake on the drive with the helical gear unit.

   Attach fan cover.
