This mode allows the selection of any value of spring engaged
torque (from zero to full rated) available with a particular
disc size by relieving a percentage of minimum hold-off
air pressure (5.17 bar [75 psi]). The remaining pressure,
balanced against the spring force, reduces the output of
the Actuator (See Figure 13).
Example:
A standard spring set brake with a 610 mm
[24 inch] disc has a full rated spring-engaged torque of
2825 Nm [25,000 in-lb] when using the minimum hold-off
air pressure of 5.17 bar [75 psi]. To achieve 60% of this
torque (1694 Nm [15,000 in-lb]), relieve the hold-off air
pressure 60% or 3.10 bar [45 psi], leaving 2.17 bar [30
psi] hold-off air pressure.
