HYDRAULIC CALLIPER TYPE NHCD-1400
Instructions for assembly, adjustment and maintenance
T.D.S.: BC.TDS.00025I
Rev.0.: September - 2012
2.2. DISC AND SURFACE FOR ASSEMBLY.
Before starting the assembly process, check that the disc is clean and dry. Any
residue, whether grease, oil or particles due to disc corrosion could prevent the brake
and linings from working properly.
During transportation and storage, residue may build up in the brakes on surfaces
in contact with brackets in the future and on the areas between the linings and the disc.
We therefore recommend cleaning them thoroughly.
2.3. ASSEMBLY PROCEDURE.
To assemble the brakes, proceed as follows:
2.3.1.
Clean the disc in which you are going to install the NHCD-1400 brake. Any
particles could damage the brake and prevent it from working properly. See the
first NOTE on disc cleaning in point 2.2.
2.3.2.
Remove brake from packaging (do not remove plugs marked 32).
2.3.3.
Clean the contact surface between the brake and its bracket and the contact
surfaces between the linings with the disc. Once the brakes have been unpacked
and transported to the installation point they could become dirty, which is why
both surfaces need to be cleaned.
NOTE
The brakes have been designed in accordance with the
customer's specifications. Therefore, possible disc and
bracket machining defects will not have been taken into
account. ANTEC thinks it is worth mentioning that
possible flaws regarding parallelism and flatness in the
brake's disc and securing bracket may reduce the contact
surface area between the lining and disc. Contact between
both surfaces will be restored fully after several braking
actions.
NOTE
When you clean the disc, you can use petroleum or diesel
fuel the first time, but after that (and this is very
important) the disc must be carefully cleaned using a
solvent. Take care when using solvents. Dry the disc
afterwards.
