Brake pad wear adjustment:
To counter brake pad wear you can adjust the distance between brake pad and brake disc with
set screws Pos. 41 and Pos. 17 (see Fig. 8.1 or 8.2). The gap between brake disc and brake pad
on each side should be 0,
2 …0,4 mm. The maximum allowable distance between brake disk and
brake pad without adjustment is 0,6mm. A greater gap will reduce braking force up to a complete
loss of braking force. Consider the maximum permissible wear of the brake pads (see table 11.1).
After the adjustment of the gap between brake disc and brake pad, lock the set screw Pos. 41
and Pos. 17 with the locking nut Pos. 16 and Pos. 40 (see Fig. 8.1 or 8.2).
Attention!
The gap between brake disc and brake pad on each side should be 0,2 ..0,3
mm. The maximum allowable distance between brake disk and brake pad with-
out adjustment is 0,6mm. A greater gap will reduce braking force up to a com-
plete loss of braking force. Consider the maximum permissible wear of the brake
pads (see table 11.1).

Brake pad replacement:
Before replacing the brake pads Pos. 1, ensure that the mass held by the brake is secured to
prevent movement, as parts of the brake must be loosened/removed for replacement.
Switch off the electric current and remove the plug Pos. 38 from the brake.
Remove all tension springs Pos.5 and one of two retainig plates Pos. 6 each side, see Fig. 11.1
