INSTALLATION
2.1
Preparation and Alignment
2.1.1
The preparation and alignment of the WCBD
brake assembly is identical to that of the WCB2
tensioner/brake. Refer to IOM WCB 11076 for
preparation and alignment procedures for the
WCBD brake assembly.
2.2
Mounting
2.2.1
Mounting of the WCBD brake assembly is identical
to that of the WCB2 tensioner/brake. Refer to IOM
WCB 11076 for mounting procedures.
2.3
Air System
Warning
Maximum allowable air pressure to any WCBD
brake assemblies pressure port is 150 psig (10.2 bar).
Application of pressure exceeding maximum allowable
may result in damage to the WCBD brake assembly.
2.3.1
Maximum allowable pressure is 150 psig (10.2 bar).
2.3.2
Use only clean, filtered air (a 50 micron filter or better
is recommended) which is free of excess moisture.
2.3.3
Air inlet sizes are shown in Table 2. Air inlets are
located on the face of the cylinder (19). Some
cylinders will have a single port to facilitate purging
of moisture that may accumulate in the air system or
cylinder. This lowest port should be located at or near
the 6 o'clock position.

All pipes should be free of metal chips,
cutting compound and any other foreign matter.
Pipe ends should be reamed after cutting to
eliminate possible restrictions. For optimum air
system response, a minimum number of bends
and elbow should be used.
2.3.5
The WCBD brake assembly does not require
lubricated air; however associated control valves
may. Consult the valve manufacturer for
appropriate recommendations.
2.4
Coolant System
2.4.1
Installation and operation of the WCBD brake
assembly's coolant system is identical to the WCB2
tensioner/brake. Refer to Eaton manual WCB 11076
for cooling system procedures and parameters for
the WCBD brake assemblies.
