LM16-20-25 I&M MANUAL/EN/11.30.2010
NOTE: MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE GAP IS 0.5mm or 0.020 inches. Remove round plastic dust
cap on the side of the brake assembly. Turn off power to hoist, insert gage pin of proper
diameter to check motor brake gap.
increments of 0.001" ranging from 0.015" to 0.020".
The air gap of the brake cannot be adjusted. If the brake air gap is measured above maximum
allowable, then he linings must be replaced.
Gap may be measured periodically to predict replacement based upon frequency of use.
Replace the friction rotor when the gap reaches the maximum allowable dimension.
Removing Hoist Motor Brake (Refer to Figures 9 and 10)
1. Remove load from load block assembly.
2. Raise load block assembly to hoist body. Allow slack in chain to permit tying up bottom block
assembly to remove weight of bottom block assembly from load chain.
3. Remove and lockout power to the hoist.
