ACTUATOR WARNING WARNING Spring actuated brakes must be manually released prior to brake disassembly. Refer to pages 16 & 17 for manual disengagement and re-engagment instructions. Hold-off air pressure can be removed once unit is manually disengaged, and service performed (See Figure 2).
MAIN FRAME (MOUNTING BRAKE TO DISC) 4. Release the BD Caliper Brake from the disc. 5. Tighten the Cap Screws (Item 19) to 67.8 Nm [50 NOTE ft-lb] torque (See Figure 4). Set Screws (Item 50) and Nuts (Item 51) are provided to hold Arms (Item 2) in place when the BD Caliper Brake is used on vertical shaft installations (See Figure 4).

Nexen pneumatically actuated devices require clean, pressure regulated air for maximum performance and life. All seals in Nexen pneumatically operated devices are lubricated for life, and do not require additional lubrication. However, some customers prefer to use an air line lubricator, which injects oil into the pressurized air, forcing an oil mist into the air chamber.
OPERATIONAL MODES NORMAL AIR ENGAGED MODE Below is a standard air brake control circuit. On-off air control is accomplished by the three-way valve. Torque is controlled by the regulation of air pressure (See Figure 10). Quick Exhaust Power 3-Way Manual Valve Source Valve...

AIR OPERATED—SPRING ENGAGED MODE 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.
OPTION KIT FOR 3/4" WIDE DISC INSTALLATION (INCLUDED WITH BRAKE) The use of 3/4 inch wide discs with the BD Caliper Brake requires a shorter Piston Rod (Item 10) and Return Springs (Item 17) for proper operation. (Not applicable for the 60 psi canister.) WARNING WARNING Spring actuated brakes must be manually released prior to brake disassembly.
