TM DC Brakes Shunt or Series Wound Features: |
 Mechanically independent coils can be removed without releasing the brake shoes.
The design of the twin-magnet system results in a real safety features: if the magnet coil should need replacement while the equipment is under load - for example, while a crane is in the middle of a lift - the magnetic assembly can be removed and replaced or repaired without releasing the braking action or disturbing the torque setting.
In an emergency, short-time operation on a single coil is possible. | |
 Twin-magnet coils are Epoxy-encapsulated for permanent protection against dust, water, grease, oil, chemicals and mechanical impact (except TM43 and 63 have single coil). | |
 Self-aligning cast-iron brake shoes are lined with long-wearing molded linings secured with brass rivets. The interchangeable shoes are single-pivot mounted for positive self-alignment upon installation. Once the shoes are aligned, the pivot bolts are tightened, holding the shoes in position to prevent the shoe tips from dragging. | |
 Shoe-travel indicator provides a positive visual check of lining wear for quick maintenance-inspection. | |
 Over-the-wheel tie rod is a simple, rugged, easily accessible linkage, permitting all adjustments from the top. Only two easy adjustments for shoe wear and spring tension. Unitized tie-rod-and-spring assembly facilitates shoe replacement. The complete assembly removes as a unit, making the shoes accessible for lining replacement in one quick step. The brake can be released manually, if required. Left-or-right-mounted conduit box is an Integral part of the brake frame, allowing either right-hand or left-hand installation. On series coil brakes, Frame 1355 and larger, convenient accessible leads are furnished in place of the conduit box. |
