Installation Instructions
Introduction
The PRB-H brake mounts to a vertical surface
and the customer's shaft is secured in the input
hub of the unit. See Figure 2.
Pre-Mounting
Note: Unit performance can be affected by
prolonged exposure to humid environments.
Please store in a dry location.
Note: The equipment covered by this service
manual must be installed in accordance with
these instructions. Failure to do so may dam-
age the equipment and void the warranty.
1. Remove your magnetic particle brake from its
shipping carton and inspect it thoroughly to
ensure that it has arrived in good condition.
When handling, please take care not to dam-
age lead wires.
2. Check the input hub to make sure it turns
freely. The magnetic powder inside the unit
may settle due to shock and vibration caused
during shipping. If hub rotation is difficult,
turn the unit upside down and gently tap it to
loosen the powder.
3. Make sure the location chosen for mounting
will not expose the unit to water or oil as
these contaminants may affect unit perform-
ance. If the unit is mounted next to a gear-
box, special care should be taken to prevent
oil from working its way into the unit.
4. If coupling(s) are used to connect to the drive
system, the mounting surface must properly
locate the housing to ensure that alignment is
within tolerance of the coupling(s).
