Preface Specified Application The specific application for which the COMBISTOP device was ordered, is usually (but not always) the same as the Application in which the device is being used. System Integrator The technician installing the COMBISTOP brake into the application.
Glossary Standards for COMBISTOP type 38 Brakes The COMBISTOP installation must comply with all relevant safety standards. The following standards are relevant to the installation and operation of the COMBISTOP type 38 Brake. Directive 2006/42/EC (annex I) • Region: EU Essential health and safety requirements for the design and construction of machinery.
The following safety instructions have been created by KEB America, Inc. for the COMBISTOP type 38 brake. These instructions can be supplemented by local, country- or application-specific safety instructions where relevant.
• Never use the brake in potentially explosive environments. • The brake may not be modified or altered in any way not intended by KEB America, Inc. 2.4 Electrical Safety Guidelines Rick of electrical shock! DANGER Turn off the power supply and secure it against switching on prior to any work on the device.
3 Product Description 3.1 Scope of this Manual This manual provides all information required to properly install and operate the KEB COMBISTOP type 38 Spring Set Brake. This manual applies to the following brake types: • COMBISTOP type 38.11N Without hand release for dynamic applications (regular rated torque) COMBISTOP type 38.13N...
Product Description 3.3 Torque and Operating Power The COMBISTOP comes in a variety of sizes to meet the braking needs of the specified application. Braking torque and operating power by brake size is shown below. Brake Rated Braking Torque Wattage...
The hand release lever can be installed to provide manual release of the brake in the case of power outages or malfunctions. The COMBISTOP type 38 brake engages when powered off, so in the case of a power outage the brake will bring the system to a safe halt.
Report any shipping damage to the device or packing to the shipping company and to KEB America, Inc. 4.2 Unloading and Moving the Device Large sizes of the COMBISTOP brake can be too heavy to safely move by hand. Use appropriate lifting devices to transport large size COMBISTOP devices. →...
Friction surfaces made of cast iron or steel are best suited for the COMBISTOP type 38. If a suitable friction surface is not available, an optional flange or friction disk can be installed between the COMBISTOP and the mounting surface.
0.08 (mm) 5.3 Installing the Brake The following steps detail installing the COMBISTOP brake. For visual examples of installing the brake and adjusting the air gap you can view a tutorial video at the following link. Installation Video on Youtube...
Ensure the hub cannot run against the friction surface! KEB America, Inc. recommends leaving a space of 0.5mm to 1mm between hub and friction surface to prevent friction and wear and tear on the hub.

If the brake includes a lifting tab (Size 10), remove the lifting tab by removing the fastening screws after securely attaching the magnet system. The following table shows screw number and sizes for each size of COMBISTOP brake. Size...
Figure 7 Air Gap Size Xn [mm] Connect the COMBISTOP brake lead lines to an appropriate DC voltage to test brake function. The brake will release when voltage is applied, and engage when the voltage supply is powered off. The COMBISTOP brake is now ready for use.
Powering the brake outside of the nominal DC voltage will damage the brake. The COMBISTOP type 38 brake must be powered by a nominal DC voltage. If such a voltage is not available, an AC to DC rectifier is available for purchase from KEB America, Inc.

If you are operating the brake with different values than those listed in this manual, contact KEB America, Inc. for adjusted m dimensions. Verify the air gap X is set to the adjusted dimension as shown on the table above.
Microswitch to prevent any movement from the shaft while performing work on the brake. The procedure shown below is one example of microswitch adjustment. Consult KEB America, Inc. for detailed information for your specific brake. Loosen the hex-head lock-nut (5).
Operation 7 Operation The operation of the COMBISTOP brake is performed by the control device provided by the customer. The COMBISTOP brake can be manually controlled with the optional Hand Release Lever. 7.1 Before You Begin Prior to the initial start-up of the system, go through the following checklist to ensure the brake will function properly.
8.1 Maintenance The COMBISTOP type 38 brake is almost maintenance-free. As a result of wear occurring during operation, the air gap between magnet and armature increases and the friction lining wears away.
E-Ring can be rotated to adjust the torque. • COMBISTOP sizes 07 – 11 use set screws to reduce braking torque. All set screws should be turned the same number of rotations to ensure even braking torque. Figure 20 Size 02 - 06 with E-Ring...
Maintenance and Troubleshooting 8.3 Troubleshooting The following are some common issues that may occur with the COMBISTOP type 38 brake, as well as steps to resolving these issues. Before performing any troubleshooting, follow all relevant safety guidelines. → See section Maintenance Safety Guidelines for details.
