INSTALLATION AND OPERATING INSTRUCTION

FOR EMERGENCY BRAKE ON SLOW SHAFT
GENERAL NOTES

In case of emergency brake on the slow shaft please refer to the specific Owners handbook
of the brake fitted to the machine.

The handbooks (brake DF by Alberto Sassi, brakes by Mayr and Warner) are supplied with
the machine.
IMPORTANT !!
PAY ATTENTION TO THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS OF THE
BRAKE AND TO THE HAND RELEASE SYSTEM, IF PRESENT
BRAKING ADJUSTMENT - DRUM BRAKE

Mody - Leo - Toro

Adjustment should be done with the
machine UNDER LOAD. When the machine is
operating and therefore when the electromagnet is energised, loosen locking nut 31 and
slightly loosen adjustment screw 30 until the
brake unit rubs against the brake drum (see
chart X). At this point re-tighten screw 30 the
minimum necessary until rubbing ceases
between the shoes and the brake drum when
the machine is moving. Tighten lock nut 31
and repeat the operation with the second
shoe. Intervention is then possible on the
spring pre-load to adjust braking intensity.

Unscrew safety locking nut 6 and use the
remaining nut to increase or decrease spring
tension 32 until desired braking is achieved;
then re-lock external locking nut 6.

Repeat the procedure for the other shoe.
Periodically observe the wear of the brake
linings on the gearbox which reduces braking efficiency due to the decrease in spring
preload. Do not perform any intervention on
the brake by only increasing the preload,
the complete adjustment procedure must be
carried out using the adjustment screw 30,
as seen at the beginning of this chapter, so
that the end stops 13 is not increased.

To replace the shoes, see the next chapter on Brake adjustment to ensure perfect
fitting of the new brake linings to the brake
drum.

Please note that it is practically impossible to determine how often the brake should
be adjusted, in fact, this depends on the type
of machine, its use and the timing of the brake
shoe opening and closing movements.
N.B. Brake shoes with linings must be replaced when the thickness is 2 mm at the point
of maximum wear.

BRAKE ADJUSTMENT

Mody
- Leo - Toro
Adjustment should

be done when the
machine is supported. First check that when
the electromagnet is turned on, the brake
unlocks. If this does not occur, proceed as
follows: (refer to chart x).

When the brake is turned off, loosen
locking nuts 31 and loosen set screws 30 so
that they are distanced by a few millimeters
(approx. 4) from end stops 13, manually
checking that the end stops 13 are in the
external end position. Loosen
nuts 6 leaving washers 33 in
contact with springs 32.

With the shoes in contact
with the drum, re-tighten set
screws 30 moving end stops
13 towards the brake centre by
1 mm, and then tighten locking
nuts 31.

With the electromagnet
energised, check that the friction lining of the shoe does
not touch the brake drum; just
check that in point B of the drawing a space of at least approx.
0.5/0.8 mm exists.

This space should extend
along the complete arc of the
brake lining even if it slightly
decreases up to point A.

If this does not occur, only
in this case, it becomes necessary to adjust the eccentric pin which regulates the brake shoe-drum coupling. With
the electromagnet de-energised, loosen
locking nuts 31 and set screws 30 so that
they are distanced by several mm (approx.
4) from end stops 13, manually checking
that the end stops 13 are in the external
end position.
52

Loosen nuts 6 leaving washers 33 in
contact with springs 32. Back off screws
38, disconnect the pin connection 37 from
the Belleville springs 39.

Loosen the nuts 30 and screws 35 and
adjust the eccentric pins 36 (using a spanner or screwdriver according to machine
version) until the shoes fully engage with
the brake drum.

Tighten screws 35 and nuts 34, fit the
Belleville springs 39, pin connection 37 and
tighten screws 38. Next, with shoes in contact with drum, tighten the adjusting screws
30 to move the end stops 13 approximately
1 mm toward the brake centre, and tighten
the lock-nuts 31. This done, adjust spring
32 as described in the chapter Braking
adjustment.

is cold to avoid any grease leakage from
thrustbearing.
2) The standard bolt, which is already
mounted to the ending part of the worm,
has a diameter apt to the fitting of some
type of encoder with hollow shaft of 25 mm.
3) To assemble the encoder 4, move it coaxially
along bolt 1 till a distance of 0.5mm from
cover 2 and centre the plug 5 in the special
antirotation holder.
The standard plug has a of 3 mm and
is positioned at a distance of 32.5 mm
from rotation axis.
4) Sligthly move the three dowels M4 nr. 6

alternately towards the shaft 1 by means
of Allen wrench in order to centre the en coder; then tighten them in the same way.
Check that during the rotation of the motor
axis the encoder does not move incorrectly
causing a wrong centring.
The maximum allowable values of the
standard encoder are lower or equal to
+/- 0.1mm in radial direction (R) and lower
or equal to +/-1mm in axial direction (A),
and are measured by means of a dial gauge.
Should not this occur, please repeat pro cedures at points 3 and 4.
5) Once assembled, the encoder is protrud ing from the supporting surface, if the gear
is mounted in vertical position.

In case you intend to fit this encoder on a
gear not predisposed, please contact
Alberto Sassi Spa to receive the specific
instructions.

joining the flange with the cable sheave
(sheaves type).

Close the brake and manually turn the
sheave to the left and to the right so that the
radial back lash can be measured by the dial
gauge.

The position of the flange bolts on the
flange for sheave correspond more or less
to the position of the wormwheel reference
radius of the wormwheel that is 136 mm.

In case of spoked type pulley equip the
probe of the dial gauge with an extension to
reach one of the internal spokes at a distance

CHECKING THE WORM/ WORMWHEEL

BACKLASH

WORM/WORMWHEEL GEAR
BACK LASH VALUES.

Check every 3000 running hours or at
least once a year whether the maximum values of the a/m backlash exceed 0.3 mm in
case of gear with sheave diameters of more
than 560 mm, or 0.5 mm in case of gear with
sheave diameters less/equal than 560 mm:
in this case follow the following instructions.

The two flanges showed in the drawing
of the previous page are positioned on the
slow shaft and allow the adjustment of the
worm/wormwheel backlash thanks to their
eccentricity.

They have a series of holes - indicated with the numbers
from 1 to 9 - useful for the interaxis adjustment.

A rotation of the eccentric
flanges corresponding to the
distance existing between the
two subsequent holes causes a
change in the interaxis equal to
about 4 hundreth of millimeter.

Very important: this rotation must be carried out in both
flanges in the same direction
and of the same holes number
to avoid wrong disalignement of
the slow shaft.

The condition of maximum interaxis
worm/wormwheel is reached if both flanges
are positioned with hole 1 in correspondence
of the mark + present in the machine body;
if the flanges are turned and blocked in the
following holes the distance of the axis worm/
wormwheel tends to constantly decrease.
Carry out these operations without ropes and
applied loads to the sheave.

To rotate the flange use tool 5007. At
the end tighten the fixing screws M10 of the
flange at a torque of 50Nm. Total screws: two
in the flange on sheave side and eight in the
opposite one.
LUBRICATION Mody - Leo - Toro

The oil used for lubrication is a special
oil with a synthetic polyalfaolefinic base, with
special additives showing higher characteristics than normal EP.
- Do not top up.
- The quantity of oil is sufficient for the
ove rall gear life.
The gear is equipped with one oil plug
positioned in such a way to facilitate the
possible oil drainage independently from the
final installation position.
56
On its side, on the casing, behind the sheave, there is an air valve, which enables the automatic release of the overpressure generated
by the pumping of the working members.

REPLACEMENT OF THE SHEAVE

Mody - Leo The sheaves are expressely

designed for each type of gear
and do not present any sheave flange.

To fix the sheave to the slow shaft use a
special ring nut (see table) with a unscrewing
preventer screw (dowel A) M12 and tighten it
axially by means of 4 screws M10 (B).

Screw the ring nut till the groove of the
ring nut matches the hole M12 of the sheave; then
position the screw (dowel A) M12 using Loctite 243.
The ring nut is tightened by 4 high resistance
M10 screws.

These screws are tightened in sequence
with a tightening torque of 40 Nm and are specially developed to prevent the uscrewing of the
ring nut.

As additional safety measure, Loctite type
243 is applied on the threads of the 4 screws M10
to strengthen the tightening of the ring nut.

A steel-made spacer between the ring nut
and the sheave prevents the frontal screws from
deforming the surface of the cast-iron hub, on
which the a/m screws exert their pressure.

This fact assures a constant thrust.
At the end of the above described operations,
put synthetic sealing wax on dowel M12 (A) and
on one screw M10 to ensure a correct positioning
and to avoid external tampering.
In case of sheave replacement, please contact

Alberto Sassi S.p.A. to receive the required
information.

Toro The traction sheaves are specially
designed for gear Toro for diameters between 320 and 700 mm.

These are one part traction sheaves
without flange; in case of periodical checks
A. Sassi advise to replace the sheave when
the action of the ropes have worn the undercut by the half of its initial depth value.

The sheaves of other type are coupled
to a flange by means of 5 bolts M14, with
related self locking nuts and one calibrated
bolt M16x55.
For the replacement of this type of sheave
please refer to the instructions valid for the
previous sheave type.

To extract the sheave from the flange
insert three screws M14 in the threaded
holes of present in the flange (see drw. particular. 58).

In case of replacement A. Sassi wil
supply sheaves with holes specially designed
for bolts M14. The drilling 17mm with H7
tolerance for the calibrated bolt has to be
carried out together with the flange to obtain
the exact boring of the hole. The dimension
of the calibrated section of the bolt is 17k6.

Both one part traction sheaves and
sheaves are fixed by means of a special nut
M65x2, which is locked by six M16 high resistance screws (see picture pag 57).

The screws are tightened in sequence
with a tightening torque of 100Nm and are
specially designed to prevent the unscrewing
of the nut.

As additional safety measure, Loctite
type 243 is applied to the threads to assure
tightening. A steel-made spacer between the
58
ring nut and the sheave prevents the surface

of the hub to be deformed by the frontal
screws, whicht act on it. This fact assure a
constant thrust.

PERIODICAL CHECKS
Carry out the normal checks on the machine
periodically. The frequency of the checks
depends obviously on the operation cycles
of the installation.
- every 6 months with operation cycles up to
2 hours a day
- every 3 months with operation cycles higher
than 2 hours a day
Herefollows we indicate the most important
checks to be carried out on the machine.
IMPORTANT! In case of interventions on the
machine, please use only original spare parts
supplied by ALBERTO SASSI.

DRUM BRAKE: As far as the brake drum
is concerned, please refer to page 58 and 59
In case di necessity contact directly the supplier of the brake.

BACKLASH: the backlash between the
worm/ worm-wheel should be checked every 34000 running hours. With installation
subject to high duty we suggest a check every
2 years.
Should the backlash exceeds 0,7 mm, please
refer to ALBERTO SASSI or see relative chapter in the handbook for Fitting and unfitting
repair parts.

OIL: In case of light oil sweating in the
ending part of the shaft or in the vent plug do
not add oil. Should anomalous oil leakages
occur, please contact directly the after-sales
department of ALBERTO SASSI indicating the
machine serial number to fasten the solution
of the problem. (see page 33 plate B)

GROOVES OF THE SHEAVES: During the
periodical checks regarding the wear condition of the grooves, control the depth of the
undercuts.We suggest to replace the sheave
only when the ropes have worn the half of the
undercut depth.

DISC BRAKE: Check the noise level of
the brake with double front disks during the
opening and closing operations. The level
should not exceed the average values, since
the controls already carried out in our works
foresee opening gaps extremely short.

Should the noise level increase in a
strange way, please refer to the specific
instructions regarding the dismantling and
maintenance operations for the brake 30F0.
During machine running, control that any
strange noise occur between the brake.
