B06 20 243 E-EN page 7 / 23 Installation and Maintenance Manual 09.2010 CB8-E Spring chamber: Allows the continuous adjustment of spring torque, by adjusting the preload of the spring. Protection cover: The protection cover avoids the fouling of the release mechanism and guarantees the operational reliability of the brake even under rough environmental conditions.
B06 20 243 E-EN page 9 / 23 Installation and Maintenance Manual 09.2010 CB8-E Installation 4.1 Scope of supply The scope of supply is set out in the shipping documents. Completeness must be verified upon receipt. Any damage incurred in transit and/or missing parts must be reported immediately in writing. The CB8-E brake is supplied ready to install.
Brake linings can be supplied with several lining materials in two different types, depending on the brake size and/or application. All brake linings supplied by SIBRE are asbestos free and free of lead. In general two types of lining materials are available: ...
B06 20 243 E-EN page 11 / 23 Installation and Maintenance Manual 09.2010 CB8-E Sinter brake linings are less sensitive to dirt, grease and oil and can in some cases - where not fully soaked up with oil - be cleaned with solvent and re-used. WARNING Solvent cleaners can be flammable, poisonous and can cause burns.

B06 20 243 E-EN page 12 / 23 Installation and Maintenance Manual 09.2010 CB8-E WARNING The manual release is spring biassed to realize an auto-kickback functionality. The activated manual release will jump back in its initial position automatically by spring force, when the brake is released by solenoid the next time.
B06 20 243 E-EN page 13 / 23 Installation and Maintenance Manual 09.2010 CB8-E CAUTION The full torque is only generated after bedding in of the linings. The contact pattern must be minimum 70% for operation. 4.9 Manual release The disc brake CB8 is provided with an eccentric manual release in series. The handling of the manual release is carried out as follows: Remove the sidewise cap (figure 7a) Rotate the eccentric shaft clockwise until the indexed position is reached (figure 7b).
B06 20 243 E-EN page 14 / 23 Installation and Maintenance Manual 09.2010 CB8-E 4.10 Adjustment of reserve stroke The reserve stroke avoids, that the brake gets "on block" position and no more braking force is transmitted to the disc any more. Without counteraction the reserve stroke would decrease with increasing lining wear.

B06 20 243 E-EN page 16 / 23 Installation and Maintenance Manual 09.2010 CB8-E PLEASE NOTE Increasing the overhang will decrease the spring preload and so the clamping force / brake torque. Decreasing the overhang will increase the spring preload and so the clamping force / brake torque.
B06 20 243 E-EN page 17 / 23 Installation and Maintenance Manual 09.2010 CB8-E 4.12 Limit switches Optional the CB8 can be equipped with several kind of sensors. “Pad wear” An optional inductive limit switch (see figure 1 and figure 2) allows to detect lining wear. With increasing lining wear the rotating angle of the two brake levers increases, too, when the brake is closed.
B06 20 243 E-EN page 18 / 23 Installation and Maintenance Manual 09.2010 CB8-E Maintenance 5.1 Replacing the brake linings CAUTION When the linings are worn, they must be replaced. Worn out linings can cause a failure of the brake. The maximum allowed lining wear of 5 mm per side is reached, when the remaining thickness of the lining has reached a value of 2 mm for sinter linings or 7 mm for organic linings.

5.2 Replacing other components Although some minor components might be replaced with the brake mounted on site, generally it is highly recommended to take the brake to a SIBRE workshop for repairs. For removing the brake follow the instructions given in §4.13.
B06 20 243 E-EN page 21 / 23 Installation and Maintenance Manual 09.2010 CB8-E 5.4 Spare parts Maintaining a supply of the most important spare and wear parts at the location is an important factor in assuring continuous readiness of the brake for use. For required spare parts see figures 15 and 16. When ordering spare parts please advice: ...
The operator and / or user are responsible for the proper disposal of the brake and the associated components. If any doubts about the correct disposal exist, please do not hesitate to contact SIBRE or your local dealer or regional disposal enterprises for further information.
