Preparation before first use:

Guarding
It is necessary for guarding to be fitted to this brake if access is possible
Spring Set brakes have ventilation slots in the outer ring (12) which means that access to the
rotating parts is possible. Guards should be used if the position of the brake makes access
possible. Do not restrict the flow of cooling air. Use mesh or slotted guards.
The airtube holding plate (16) moves on engagement in relation to the main body of the
brake. Guarding should be used to prevent fingers being trapped.
All the equipment intended for use in a gas/vapour atmosphere, where the entry of dusts or
liquids could cause a malfunction leading to an ignition source have to be protected to IP54.
Parking brakes:
It is the responsibility of the machine manufacturer to ensure that parking brakes shall be
fitted with an interlock which prevents the drive power being applied if the brake is not fully
released. Alternatively a control device shall be fitted.
Earthing of brake:
It is necessary for this brake to be earthed to the machine frame
All metal parts of the brake are earth linked and the brake must be mounted to the machine
frame so that electrical resistance is less than 1 megaohm.
First use bedding in:

THIS BRAKE ASSEMBLY MUST BE GENTLY RUN AGAINST A RESISTANT FORCE TO
BED IN THE FRICTION LININGS & GIVE FULL AREA CONTACT.
Attention to prevent overheating of the brake must be made.
EN13463-5 Clause 7.5 Hydrostatic / Hydrokinetic / Pneumatic Equipment

It is the responsibility of the machine manufacturer to ensure that all pneumatic equipment
attached to this brake conforms to the standard below:
EN13463-5 Clause 7.5 Hydrostatic / Hydrokinetic / Pneumatic Equipment

Hydrostatic / hydrokinetic and pneumatic power transmission equipment have been
constructed of pipes, enclosures and / or other external parts, which do not produce hot
surfaces exceeding the maximum surface temperature, even when operating continuously at
maximum normal rating.
Hydrostatic / hydrokinetic equipment complies with the requirements of EN 982.
Pneumatic equipment shall comply with the requirements of EN 983.
The maximum temperature of any power transmission fluid which can be released does not
exceed the maximum surface temperature of the equipment, if this could cause an ignition
risk.
Air compressors used for pneumatic equipment incorporate a filter on the intake system to
prevent the ingress of dust or similar foreign material into the parts where compression takes
place. Air compressors only contain lubricants which are resistant to carbonization.

M 2.1 To ensure the safe and correct operation of the brake the following procedure
must be followed:
1. Ensure all parts are clean and there are no burrs or damaged edges present in the joint
faces.
2. Lubricate threaded section of M30 bolts with Rocol Dry Moly Paste or equivalent.
3. Lubricate M30 hardened washer, both faces, with Rocol Oxylube dry film lubricant or
equivalent.
4. Lubricate the underside of the bolt head with Rocol Oxylube or equivalent.
5. Assemble joint and torque tighten M30 bolts to 1600Nm. Tighten bolts in 180 degree
pattern.
6. Ensure a steady torque tightening action to achieve consistent tightening torque.
7. Re-check M30 bolts for 1600Nm tightening torque in a 180 degree pattern (check each
opposite bolt position until all bolts are checked and no movement of bolt head is seen).
8. Final Check - torque check each bolt at 1600 Nm in a continuous pattern i.e. moving from
one bolt to the bolt next to the one just checked until all 16 bolts are checked.
Alignment Check
Alignment of Hub to the outer ring should be checked to ensure that alignment is within the limits
allowable. Alignment should be as close to zero misalignment as is practically possible and at least be
within a maximum of 1° angular.
If the alignment checks are conducted in the cold condition then any allowance for warm running
offset should be factored into the alignment settings.
Carry out alignment checks and adjust as necessary.
Installing: Warning Gas or explosive atmosphere may be present
All tooling used for maintenance purposes must be suitable for use in explosive atmosphere
environments. No impact tools (e.g. Hammer) may be used for risk of sparks at point of impact.
Insert friction discs and centre plates onto hub and outer ring gear teeth in the same order as packed.
Ensure that each set of the separation springs locate in their counterbores correctly. It is sometimes
necessary to insert a small screwdriver through the friction disc spring holes to check that each spring
is seated correctly.
Use a shim piece to retain the front friction disc in place whilst installing the spring actuator assembly
to the front of the brake. Ensure that the shim is re-aligned once the spring actuator assembly is
engaged on the remaining bolts and torque tightened in place. Outer ring of bolts should be torque
tightened in turn at 180° pattern to ensure that the springs are compressed evenly as the assembly is
clamped in place. Double check all M24 bolts are re- torque tightened to 800 Nm after final assembly.

M 3 MAINTENANCE Warning gas or explosive atmosphere may be present
All tooling used for maintenance purposes must be suitable for use in explosive atmosphere
environments.
No impact tools (e.g. Hammer) may be used for risk of sparks at point of impact.
Cleaning of a worn brake MUST NOT be done by blowing out the dust. Use either vacuum
extraction or a damp cloth
M 3.1 CHANGING THE AIRTUBE
1 Remove the air hoses & fittings from the front of the brake unit.
2 Fit a suitable lifting eye to the airtube holding plate and support the weight of the plate. See
diagram of component weights attached.
3 Remove the 16 off M30 capscrews (2).
4 Ease the airtube holding plate from its spigot location.
5 The airtube can now be removed from the reverse face of the plate.
6 Re-assemble in reverse order. Each M30 bolt must be torque tightened to 1600 Nm to ensure
correct preload on bolt (see M 2.1).
Bolts should be re-checked after one hour to ensure no relaxation has taken place.
M 4 RECOMMENDED SPARES
WARNING ! Use only genuine Wichita spare parts. Failure to do so
will invalidate your warranty and may lead to excessive wear and
consequential damage.
M 4.1 STOCKING SPARES

Although certain spares are held in stock at Wichita (Bedford), normal recommended spares should
M 4.2 PARTS LISTS
A full list of the brake components are detailed on the assembly drawing. If in doubt then contact
Wichita directly indicating the serial number that can be found on the serial plate attached to the
assembly. The serial number is also detailed on the front page of these instructions.
M 4.3 FRICTION DISCS (20)

Cleaning of a worn brake MUST NOT be done by blowing out the dust. Use either vacuum
extraction or a damp cloth.
These should be replaced as a complete set (6 off) when the brake has reached its maximum
wear condition. Spare discs should be kept clean, dry and free from oil or grease.

M 4.4 RELEASE SPRINGS (8) & ENGAGEMENT SPRINGS (9/10)

Engagement springs must be replaced as a matter of routine whenever the brake completes 1
year of operation or when friction discs are replaced (whichever comes first). If brake is fitted
with torque arm kit, springs must be replaced within 1 million cycles (see amendment at the end
of instructions).
Engaging springs should be fitted as shown 132 off (4 x 33) left handed coils (red) 4 & 132 off (4 x 33)
right handed coils (green).
Prior to assembly spring faces and spring pockets should be lightly greased using low temperature
grease (such as Castrol OPTITEMP® LG 2 or Q8 Rubens LL2 or equivalent).
Dowel Pin
M 4.5 AIRTUBE (21)

Failures, although infrequent, may occasionally occur if the airtube becomes excessively hot,
saturated by oil or over expanded. Store spare airtube flat and away from direct sunlight.
SS 1 ADJUSTMENT OF CLEARANCE
It is essential for the efficient operation of this type of Wichita brake to have correct clearance.
1. TO SET UP CLEARANCE IF SHIM SETTINGS ARE UNKNOWN
With brake lying on bench or floor, install the outer shims (18) and inner shims (19) so as to leave air
gaps equivalent to dimensions "A" and "C" in TABLE 1 and figure below. Insert capscrews (6) and
(2) and bolt down the complete assembly. Check dimension "D" and "E", the latter by applying air to
the brake and measuring the change in "D". Dimension "D" is the minimum value and the clearance
should be set just above the figure in TABLE 1. Dimension "E" should be set to the minimum value
given in TABLE 1.

Hatschekstrasse 36
tel. +49 (0)6221 3047 19 fax +44 (0)1234 350317
2. IF CLEARANCE "E" REQUIRES ADJUSTMENT ON SET UP Adjust dimension "D" to max.

value by either add or subtract equal numbers of shims (18) at position "A". Applying air to the brake
and measuring the change in "D" specifies dimension "E". To increase or decrease clearance "E" to
value in Table 1, either add or subtract equal numbers of shims (19) at position "C".
3. 3. IF CLEARANCE "D" REQUIRES ADJUSTMENT ON SET UP Remove capscrews (6) and

remove shims (18) as necessary. This is easiest carried out when air pressure is on the airtube.
Important Note : When air pressure is applied to the airtube the brake will be released. Therefore
any load carried by the brake must be supported by another means. Re-assemble and check
dimension "D" and "E".
IMPORTANT: Never remove all outer bolts at the same time! Add or subtract just one outer shim
segment at any one time (held by 2 bolts).
Note instruction: To ensure the torque capacity does not fall the maximum wear is restricted.
4. TO ADJUST CLEARANCE "D" AFTER WEAR.

Remove capscrews (6) and remove shims (18) as necessary. Re-assemble (for torque value see
Table 2) and check dimension "D". If "D" has reached the maximum value in TABLE 1, after all
shims (18) have been removed, then the friction discs (20) must be replaced.

SS 2 GUARDING
Spring Set brakes have ventilation slots in the outer ring (12) which means that access to the rotating
parts is possible. Guards should be used if the position of the brake makes access possible. Do not
restrict the flow of cooling air. Use mesh or slotted guards.
The airtube holding plate (16) moves on engagement in relation to the main body of the brake.
Guarding should be used to prevent fingers being trapped.
SS 3 LUBRICATION
No lubrication is required, although a very light smear of molycote or equivalent graphite grease may
be applied to gear teeth if felt desirable.
SS 4 AIR SUPPLY CONTROLS

Use flexible hoses to connect the airtube to control valve. Do not put any strain on the airtube
connections.
SS 5 CLEANING
Since 1988 all Wichita friction material is asbestos free.
Cleaning of a worn brake must not be done by blowing out the dust. Use either vacuum extraction or
a damp cloth for cleaning.

Drive Ring Mounting Bracket assembly using the supplied M24 x 130 bolts (4 off for Version A and 3 off

To fit the Bearing Ring, remove the 16 off M30 bolts securing the Airtube Holding Plate and Airtube to
the Brake. Fit the Bearing Ring in the position and orientation shown in the Torque Arm Kit Bearing Ring
View.
