b)
There should be limited restrictions on the outlet
ports of the brake to cause any back pressure to the
unit (Refer to Section 2.4.4 adding flow controls).
Coolant inlet and outlet sizes are listed in Table 8.
Full size hoses and piping should be used. Check for
low flow and/or leakage at all O.D. and I.D. wear plate
sealing areas.
4.0 MAINTENANCE
Warning
Before performing any maintenance work on the
WCSB3 tensioner, make sure that the machinery will
remain in a safe position. Failure to do so could result
in serious injury or possibly death.
Warning
Only qualified maintenance personnel should install,
adjust or repair the WCSB3 units. Faulty workman-
ship will result in unreasonable exposure to hazardous
conditions or personal injury.
Caution
Read these instructions thoroughly and review until
you fully understand the parts replacement steps
before proceeding with the work described in this
section. Failure to follow these instructions can result
in unreasonable exposure to hazardous conditions or
personal injury.
4.1
Wear Limits
Warning
Periodically examine the tensioner for wear of friction
linings, discs and wear plates. Failure to perform this
examination will result in excessive wear, a signifi-
cant reduction in torque, and may result in personal
injury and/ or damage to the machinery.
4.1.1 Wear limits for the WCSB3 components are shown
in Table 13. If any wear limit has been reached or
exceeded, that component must be repaired or
replaced.
4.2
Wear Adjustment
Wear adjustment is periodically required as the
friction material and mating surfaces wear. Wear
adjustment reduces the running clearances between
these surfaces to help maintain the holding force
of the brake (for the spring applied feature), and to
maintain the responsiveness of the brake by limiting
the travel of components. Mechanical limits within
the brake design require that the brake be adjusted
when the adjustment points listed in Table 13 have
been reached.
