MADE IN U.S.A PAGE 1PUBLICATION NO. 172280210DESCRIPTION OF OPERATIONOn this brake, the magnet coil is a separately enclosed unit mounted between an inner and outer armature. When the coil isproperly energized, the armatures are attracted to each other until their outer poles seal. The action of the armatures moves theshoes away from the wheel. The inner armature moves the inner shoe and the outer armature moves the outer shoe. When thecoil is de-energized, the compression spring forces the armatures apart and presses the shoes against the wheel.PROCEDURE FOR INSTALLATION AND OPERATION(Refer To Dimension Drawing For Mounting Dimensions)1. Assemble brake wheel “B” on motor shaft2. Back off lock nut “U” and pull rod nut “P” aboutone inch.3. Back off lock nut “T”. Turn screw “C” clockwise tolift the wedge at the top of the inner shoe lever “L”.4. Slide the brake into place around the brake wheel“B” and start bolts into the base mounting surface.5. Loosen the holding screws “K” on both shoelevers leaving only a light grip.6. Push the shoe levers “N” and “L” against thebrake wheel “B” and check to insure shoes fitevenly across the wheel face.7. Bump the base into the best position to get themost favorable fit of the shoes against the wheel“B”. C/L of the wheel must be aligned with thepunch mark of base to obtain proper horizontalpositioning of the brake, and with C/L of shoepivot sockets to obtain the proper verticalpositioning of the brake.8. If the mounting surface is not flat or is not parallelto the shaft axis, shimming may be necessary.Tighten the holding bolts to hold the base firmly inplace.INSTRUCTION SHEETFor Type GH505 23” DC Magnetic Shoe Brake
