Design and function

Electric brake
PLL and PSD are equipped with an electric brake. The electric brake is a safety brake
with two friction surfaces. The braking torque is produced by spring pressure. The brake
is activated when the voltage over the coil is lost, i.e. the truck is braked when it it without
voltage.
When the brake is activated the springs press on the plate, which is pressed axially to the
rotor. When the brake is to be released the coil is supplied with battery voltage. The mag-
netic field created between the plate and the magnetic part allows the rotor to rotate freely.
The brake is activated in different ways (see also wiring diagram):
1. Via the drive motor controller when the controller indicates a serious fault.
2. Via the steering servo controller, which breaks the brake coil supply to the plus
pole on the battery if a serious fault is indicated.

Repair instructions

Electric brake
The brake on PLL/PSD requires a minimum of maintenance. It does not need to be ad-
justed, and compensates automatically for wear. The A gap is 0.3 mm. The rotor should
be replaced when the A gap is a maximum of 0.6 mm.

Note!
The rotor should be replaced when the A gap is a maximum of 0.6 mm.

Manual release of the brake

The brake can be released manually. This allows for the movement of a truck that has no power
supply. Release the brake by turning the handle at the top of the brake clockwise (A). The truck
cannot be operated in this position. To return to normal operation, turn the handle anticlockwise
back to normal position (B).

Figure 11.2

Important!
The brake may only be released when the truck is standing still on clean, level and solid
ground.
