4.4 - Air gap adjustment
Adjust the air gap when normal loosening is no longer
possible. Always check the pad's thickness when adjusting to
ensure pad wear does not exceed the R dimension in mm (i.e.
R/2 on either side of the disc 1102). Its change is compulsory
before the lenght R between each brake lining reaches:
Brake size
FFB1, FFB2, FFB3
FFB4, FFB5
Exceeding R dimension can cause security
problems (quick decrease of braking torque M
- Unscrew the screws 27 holding the metal cover 13.
- Remove the metal cover 13.
- Clear the O-ring 1107 to gain access to the air gap.
- Check the air gap between the yoke 1105 and armature
1102 in 3 points at 120°.

- Release spacers 1104, move them closer to the yoke 1105.
- Screw the fixing screws 1106 while measuring the air gap
between the yoke and the armature to obtain a dimension of
0.3 mm. If release lever (DLM or DMD) presence, set to 0.6
mm.
- Screw the spacers 1104 in abutment on friction face-plate
(tighten to 2 Nm ±10% torque).
- Tighten fixing screws 1106 brake yoke on face-plate to the
torque as follows: FFB1: 4.9 N.m; FFB2 and 3: 8.5 N.m; FFB4
and 5: 21 N.m ±10%.
- Check the value of the air-gap again.
- Reposition the O-ring 1107 into its groove.
- Fasten the cover 13 with its screws 27.
When DLRA or DLM mounted, refer to §6.1, 6.2.
