Design and function/ parts list Function The brake calipers HW 040 HFA, HW 063 HFA and HW 100 HFA are machine components used for the purpose of braking accelerated masses safely and reliably. The combination of brake caliper and brake disc provides a complete brake unit capable of securing machines and equipment system effectively.
There is a type plate on the brake with a 16-digit part number. The exact design of the brake is defined by this article number only. As well as these instructions, please also consider the catalogue data for the brake at www.RINGSPANN.com and the drawings in the individual sections.

The brake caliper is designed for use as a holding/parking brake, control brake and/or as stopping brake. Other uses are improper and incompatible with the specified purpose. RINGSPANN assumes no liability for damages resulting from improper use. The risk is assumed by the user alone.
Technical prerequisite for reliable operation Mounting the brake to stable, low-vibration machine components ensures low-screech, low-noise braking. Installation the RINGSPANN brake General instructions for assembly and installation Before installing the brake caliper, the brake disc must be cleaned with alcohol, e.g. ethyl or isopropyl alcohol or a water-based surfactant solution (soapy water, etc.) and then rubbed dry with...

Caution! Oil expelled from the system must be removed completely. Leaks must be repaired immediately. Connection threading: HW 040 HFA = G 1/4“ HW 063 HFA = G 1/4“ HW 100 HFA = G 3/8“ Hydraulic fluid: Alloyed mineral oil equivalent to Group HLP (DIN 51525 or API classification SC, SD or SE.
As an option, RINGSPANN offers a wear indicator as friction pad wear monitoring for the brakes, which signals when the friction pad wear limit is reached. The indicator lamp in the wear indicator shows that the friction blocks need to be changed.

Caution! Brake pads must always be replaced in pairs. Only original RINGSPANN friction pads may be used. Before replacing the brake pads, ensure that the mass held by the brake is secured to prevent movement, as parts of the brake must be loosened/removed for replacement.

Ensure that the hydraulic fluid line is free of residual pressure, e.g. by removing the bleeder plug, as fluid is forced back into the system during brake pad replacement. Replacing brake pads for HW 040 HFA and HW 063 HFA • Remove the holding brackets hold the brake pads in place.
Ensure that brake pad material is free of oil and grease. Replacing seals, strippers and piston gaskets Fig. 11.1 HW 040 HFA and HW 063 HFA Fig. 11.2 HW 100 HFA Fig. 11.3 HW 040 HFA and HW 063 HFA Fig.
