to use
IC9516
brakes are spring-set, electrically released brakes operated
by solenoids in the smaller sizes and Thrustor Plust mechanisms
in the larger sizes. They provide reliable low-cost operation
on varied applications throughout industry. They are used
on cranes, bridges, turn-tables, conveyors, machine tools,
elevators, printing presses, hoists, locks and dams, overhead
doors, and deck machinery. GE IC9516 brakes, either Thrustor
or solenoid operated, are springset, two-shoe brakes.
They are electrically released by a solenoid in the smaller
sizes and by a Thrustor mechanism in the larger ratings.
Easily
adjustable braking torque, down to 50% rating,
is incorporated in the sturdy, simple construction of
these brakes.
High-inertia
loads offer ideal applications for the Thrustor Plus-operated
brake. Its ability to apply and remove braking pressure
smoothly makes it highly desirable for application in
cranes, hoists, and elevators.
Speed
of operation of the Thrustor Plus mechanism—both
setting and releasing— can be independently adjusted
to enable stored energy of the load to be dissipated before
brake pressure is applied.
| FEATURES |
|
1.
Durable linkage isolates shock of solenoid
from brake for longer life. |
2.
Only 3 simple adjustments:
A. Shoe clearance
B. Solenoid or Thrustor
mechanism gap
C. Brake torque |
3.
Long solenoid life is provided because spring is
designed for low build-up characteristics. |
4.
To help protect and maintain full-load on solenoid,
lever ratio is adjustable for required torque range. |
5.
Large diameter pins permit correct alignment and
provide liberal bearing surfaces. |
6.
Non-asbestos linings. |
7.
Special non-scoring rivets securely hold easily
replaceable lining. |
8.
Connections are better protected by conduit box. |
9.
Rapid cooling provided because shoes cover only
half the wheel. |
10.
Sturdy, rigid base construction is provided for
both type brakes. |
11.
Yoke pins near center line of wheel afford even
lining wear. |
| 12.
Thrustor mechanism provides a cushion when releasing
and setting the brake, thereby preventing stresses
from being transmitted to the driven machinery during
starts and stops. |
13.
Adjustable time-delay settings are provided on Thrustor
plus brakes. |
