1. Ideally, the Electro-Clutch should be mounted
on a through-shaft for firm support. In the
case of a stub shaft, the stub should be as
long as the clutch assembly, although for
moderate duty applications a shaft which is
2/3 or more the length of the assembly
normally provides adequate support.
2. Insert the key in the shaft. If the keyseat is
opened at one end of the shaft, prick punch
the shaft to prevent the key from working out.
3. Slide the assembled Electro-Clutch on the
shaft. (When the Electro-Clutch is mounted
on a stub shaft, the set collar end of the
clutch should be toward the support
bearings.) Tighten the setscrews in the set
collar. (Figure 1)
Failure to follow these
instructions may result in product damage,
equipment damage, and serious or fatal
injury to personnel.

4. Secure the torque arm to the tab on the field
and rotor assembly. Secure the other end of
the torque arm to a solid base. Under no
circumstances should the torque arm be
pinned down so tightly that it preloads the
bearing. For more information on torque
tabs, see page 4.

B. Assembling the Sheave, Pulley, or
Sprocket and Clutch
1. Install the key in the outer diameter of
the Electro-Clutch hub. (A special key is
furnished.)
2. Mount a standard sheave, pulley, or sprocket
to the Electro-Clutch with a standard tapered
bushing. Note: Only standard tapered
bushings are recommended for this
purpose. A straight bore drive component
mounted with set screws will damage the
Electro-Clutch bearings.
3. Install the belt on the sheave, pulley, or
sprocket. Keep the belt tensions within the
recommendation of the sheave or pulley
manufacturer.
C. Electrical Installation
1. Remove the mounting screws and lockwashers that hold the armature carrier assembly to
the sleeve. (Figure 2)
Figure 2
2. Remove the rotor mounting screws.
3. Insert two of the rotor screws in the removal
holes of the rotor to back the rotor off the
bearing. (Figure 3)
Each Warner Electric control is furnished with a
wiring diagram showing the correct electrical
connections between the control and the clutch.
Two straps are provided on the clutch torque
arm to hold the clutch lead wires in place.
(Service Manual P-239 contains complete
information on all standard power supplies.)
D. Replacing Worn Parts
The two main wearing parts, the armature and
the rotor, may be easily replaced. For stub shaft
mounted applications, these parts can be
replaced without removing the Electro-Clutch
from the shaft. The rotor and the armature usually wear at the same rate and should be
replaced together.

Torque Tabs
Many Warner Electric clutch assemblies have
a bearing mounted stationary field. By design
the bearing maintains its proper position
between the field and rotor making it easy for
the customer to mount the field-rotor assembly.
However, the bearing has a slight drag which
tends to make the field rotate with the rotor if
not restrained. Since the field has lead wires
attached, it must be restrained to prevent rotation and pulling of these wires. To counteract
this rotation force, the field has a "torque tab" to
which the customer must attach an appropriate
anti-rotational restraint.
A few hints regarding proper torque tab
restraints are in order. First and foremost, it is
important to recognize that the force to be overcome is very small and the tab should not be
restrained in any manner which will preload the
bearing. For example, if the clutch is mounted
with the back of the field adjacent to a rigid
machine member the customer should not
attach a capscrew tightly between the tab and
the machine member. This may pull the tab
back against the rigid member as shown in
Figure 4 and preload the bearing. The recommended methods are illustrated in Figures 5, 6,
and 7. The method selected is primarily a matter
of customer preference or convenience.

Burnishing and Maintenance
Maintenance
Burnishing
Intimate metal to metal contact is essential
between the armature and the metal rings
(poles) of the magnet or rotor. Warner Electric
clutches and brakes leave the factory with the
friction material slightly undercut to assure good
initial contact.
Normally, the desired wearing-in process occurs
naturally as the surfaces slip upon engagement.
The time for wear-in, which is necessary to
obtain the ultimate torque of the unit, will vary
depending on speed, load, or cycle duty.
If maximum torque is required immediately after
installation, the unit should be burnished by
slipping the friction surfaces together at reduced
voltage. It is recommended that the burnishings
be done right on the application, if at all possible.
Burnishing at high speed will result in a
smoother wear-in pattern and reduce the time
for burnishing. The voltage should be set at
approximately 30% or 50% of the rated value.
The unit should be cycled on and off to allow
sufficient time between slip cycles to prevent
overheating.
When a Warner Electric brake or clutch is
properly assembled and installed, no further
servicing, lubrication, or maintenance should
be required throughout the life of the unit.
Wear Pattern: Wear grooves appear on the armature and magnet surfaces. This is a normal wear
condition, and does not impair functioning of the
unit. Normally, the magnet and armature, as a
mating pair, will wear at the same rate. It is the
usual recommendation that both components be
replaced at the same time.
Remachining the face of a worn armature is not
recommended. If a replacement armature is to be
used with a used magnet, it is necessary to
remachine the worn magnet face. In refacing a
magnet: (1) machine only enough material to clean
up the complete face of the magnet; (2) hold the
face within .005" of parallel with the mounting
plate; and (3) undercut the molded facing material
.001" - .003" below the metal poles.
Heat: Excessive heat and high operating
temperatures are causes of rapid wear. Units,
therefore, should be ventilated as efficiently as
possible, especially if the application requires fast,
repetitive cycle operation.
Foreign Material: If units are used on machinery
where fine, abrasive dust, chips or grit are
dispelled into the atmosphere, shielding of the
brake may be necessary if maximum life is to be
obtained.
Where units are used near gear boxes or
transmissions requiring frequent lubrication,
means should be provided to protect the friction
surfaces from oil and grease to prevent serious
loss of torque.
Oil and grease accidentally reaching the
frictionsurfaces may be removed by wiping with a
rag dampened with a suitable cleaner, which
leaves no residue. In performing this operation, do
not drench the friction material.
If the friction materials have been saturated with
oil or grease, no amount of cleaning will be completely effective. Once such a unit has been
placed back in service, heat will cause the oil to
boil to the surface, resulting in further torque loss.

Torque Loss: If a brake or clutch slips or loses
torque completely, the initial check should be
the input voltage to the magnet as follows:
90-Volt Series: Connect a DC voltmeter with a
range of 0-100 or more directly across the
magnet or field terminals. With the power on
and the potentiometer turned up, a normal
reading is 90 volts, although 85 to 95 is
satisfactory. The reading should drop as the
potentiometer control is adjusted
counterclockwise.
24-Volt Series: Use a DC voltmeter with a range
of 0-30 volts or more. A normal reading is
approximately 22-26 volts.
6-Volt Series: Use a DC voltmeter of
approximately 0-15 volt range. A normal
reading is from 5.5 to 6.5 volts.
The above checks normally are sufficient.
Further checks may be made as follows: a low
range ammeter, when connected in series with
one magnet lead, correct amperage reading for
each coil voltage and unit size are found on
page 5 under Electrical Coil Data. These readings are with the power on and the potentiometer control in the maximum position.
Ohmmeter checks should be made with the
power off and the circuit open (to be certain,
disconnect one lead to the magnet). Average
resistance readings are also listed on page 5
under Electrical Coil Data for each voltage and
unit size. A very high or infinite resistance
reading would indicate an open coil.
If the above checks indicate that the proper
voltage and current is being supplied to the
magnet, mechanical parts should be checked to
assure that they are in good operating condition
and properly installed.
