COIL BRAKE
The DF-2D brake engages when the brake rods which are
connected to the lower arm are lowered as the arm swings
down. As the brake rods lower the brake pad arms pivot
downward to engage the brake pad against the inner contact
surface of the disk flanges. The amount of brake pretravel is
adjusted by moving the hex nut (two per brake rod) positions.
The amount of strap accumulated from the strapping machine
by the dispenser is dependent upon the position of the lower
arm when the brake is engaged. If the brake engages too late, as
the arm descends, very little strap can be retracted and
accumulated. If the brake engages too soon the arm may not
lower to the full bottom position.
NOTE: Since proper strap accumulation also depends on the
application, the factory setting must be considered nominal and
some fine tuning may be required.
To adjust the brake engagement point, rotate the two sets of hex nuts (four hex nuts total) up or
down the brake rods as required. Turn the nuts even amounts of turns to keep the distance from
one nut to the other from changing.
