FORM NO. L-20063-AG-1216
This mode combines the Normal Service Mode and the
Normal Spring Engaged Mode. When engaged, air pressure
plumbed into the "Air-Engaged Port" adds to the actuation
force produced by the springs resulting in higher torque and
substantially reduces the life of the brake. Operating in this
manner induces loads that exceed normal design parameters
for the brake, care should be taken when operating with
this configuration.
(Not applicable for the 60 PSI canister)
AIR OPERATED—SPRING ENGAGED MODE
WARNING
Applying the Normal Service Mode and the
Spring Engaged Mode simultaneously is outside
the normal operating range of the BD Caliper
Brake. The loads produced in the Friction
Facings (Item 4), Bearings (Item 14 and 15),
and the machine shaft are up to twice the normal
design loads.
