Bramley Model 26E Bramley Model 26E
Electric/Hydraulic Pipe Electric/Hydraulic Pipe
Bender Bender
The Bramley 026E Electric/Hydraulic
Pipe Bender uses a variable speed motor
to drive a cam onto a plunger. This drives
the primary piston, sending hydraulic oil
to the main ram driving it out.
When the control valve is released the
main ram will retract via its internal
spring.
Electrical Fault
If the motor does not run check that:
• There is power to the unit.
• The plug and lead are not damaged.
The power lead, if not kept clear of the top hinging
frame or pipe being bent, can become damaged or
pulled (If the lead has been pulled, damage may not
be obvious).
The electric motor is fitted with carbon brushes.
These will wear over time and require replacement.
When replacing the brushes ensure the unit is
unplugged from the power source. The brushes are
located on both sides of the motor.
To install, unscrew the plastic retaining screw on
both sides of the motor, remove the old brushes and
replace.
• Replacement Carbon Brush Set - part number
26-35
If these measures do not work, other possible motor
faults could include:
• The variable speed unit inside the handle of the
motor, or
• The armature.
These repairs should be carried out by a suitably
qualified technician.
