Dimensions and technical data of our brakes Since the product and Renova itself are constantly changing in order to improve the quality and performance of our products, Renova reserves the right to update the manuals without obligation to update products already marketed and/or any previous manuals.
The Turborex TX - TX/HD - TS - TS/HD brakes, made entirely by Renova in its factory, are mainly designed for use in the field of tension control of unwinding materials, an application that requires excellent heat dissipation and great sensitivity.
High Dissipation series version The High Dissipation series version (abbreviated to HD) has now become the Renova standard. The operation of these brakes is identical to its standard version, but they differ, as indicated by the name of the brake itself, as they possess a high working heat dissipation thanks to the innovative design of our self-ventilating central discs.
Renova guarantees a detailed dimensional and quality control on all the parts that make up our TX-TX / HD brake. We also guarantee total control over any electrical part present in the chosen brake configuration, 100% tested by our operators during the brake assembly phase.

assembly procedures Hub mounting on the machine shoulder Check that the mounting dimensions on the frame and on the shaft correspond to those of the brake. Check that there is no grease or oil from faulty shaft bearing seals. Fit the hub up to the support surface of the brake body.
• Fit the pressure disc. • Press the disc pack to check that it moves freely and with a springy motion. • Fit the cover by aligning the holes with the guides and close it with a slight pressure. Then tighten the 8 screws that connect it to the brake body with a tightening torque suitable for the aluminum alloy (~6Nm).
Possible configurations of the pistons present in the cover: electrical connection procedures • Connect the power supply wires of the fans and the rev counter (if present) to the connector in the side brake casing, taking care of the polarity. The electronic card that controls the fans requires this prescription.

maintenance instructions Our TX / TX HD brakes require periodic maintenance as they have parts subject to wear. In order to avoid problems on the brake and to corrupt its operation, below you will find the checks to be carried out on our brakes and the replacement procedures if something should be changed.
spare kit (replacements) REPLACEMENT OF THE FERRODIC PLATE • Remove the power supply to the fans because the moving blades can be dangerous for the operator’s fingers. • Remove the pneumatic power supply. • Open the brake and remove the old brake pads. •...

REPLACEMENT OF THE PISTONS Piston lip seal replacement. • Remove the piston from the cylinder, if it is stuck, feed the brake at very low pressure until the piston comes out of its seat • Remove the damaged gasket and replace it carefully so as not to cut it on the edge of the groove.
• Then power up the sensor and check by turning the shaped central disc that the warning light on its upper end flashes Below is the list of our available tachometers. By default, Renova supplies on its brakes a tachometer with PNP connection normally open (NO), but on request the PNP versions normally closed (NC) and the NPN versions both normally closed and normally open are also available.

KIT TEMPERATURE SENSOR - LAMP (KT000000000) Another optional that Renova provides concerns the kit including the temperature sensor and signaling lamp. Thanks to these options it is possible to monitor that the brake temperature does not rise above the threshold and if this happens it will be signaled by a light signal emitted by the lamp.

KIT FOR 4 FANS BRAKE For those applications where more heat dissipation is required, you can switch from 2 fans to 4 fans thanks to the use of a special casing that allows the assembly of 2 fans one above the other. INSTALLATION OF FAN KIT •...

KIT UPGRADE FROM TX TO TX/HD For customers who already have one of our standard versions, Renova also provides upgrade kits on request to change the brake by switching to the High Dissipation version without having to buy a new brake. The upgrade kit consists of the following parts in the version without options.
Page 22
ASSEMBLY OF THE KIT Before proceeding, make sure the fans are not powered electrically. 1. Remove the brake cover by unscrewing the 8 screws. 2. Remove the brake pad and disc layer in order. For brakes without RPM skip to step 4 3.

7. Reassemble in sequence the remaining discs, springs, 8. Last, insert the pressure disc with the brake wear plate holders as in image below. Please note, in the indicator upgrade from TX180 to TXHD180 you will have the remainder of a double plate holder 9.
