ERD–Electrically Released Brakes
P-229
819-0453
Installation Instructions
Warner Electric’s ERD series spring set, elec-
trically released brakes are designed to hold a
load when the power to the brake is off. ERD
brakes are offered in eight different sizes and
the characteristics of each are described under
“Specifications”. Brake options include a manual release handle, dust cover, and thin or thick
friction flanges. A friction flange is to be mounted to the back of the brake on applications
where the mounting surface is not suitable for
use as a friction surface for repeated stopping
and holding. The manual release handle offers
the operator the ability for controlled load
release without energizing the electrical coil.

Installation
ERD brakes are supplied in kit form. The magnet
assembly is supplied with airgap factory adjusted. Brakes are designed for dry operation and
can be mounted horizontally or vertically.
o
Maximum ambient temperature is 104
F.
Customer Shall Maintain:
1. Squareness of flange mounting face with
shaft within 0.006 in. (0.15mm) T.I.R. measured at the mounting shaft.
2. Concentricity of flange mounting with mounting shaft within 0.006 in. (0.15mm) T.I.R.
3. The mounting surface should be made of
steel or cast iron, square to the shaft with a
surface finish of 125 microinches or a fine
turned finish over the contact area.
Step 1
If a friction flange is provided, mount it first.
Mounting dimensions ar
Thick flanges are typical.
Step 2
Install key into shaft. Slide hub onto shaft and
ovide a suitable axial stop. Stop collars are
pr
typical.
Step 3
Slide friction disc on to hub.
Step 4
Fit magnet assembly to friction plate or prepar
ed surface. If a hand release is to be used,
this should be installed at this time. Remove
the wedge pieces. Torque bolts to the following
specifications.

e provided on Page 7.
Secure bolts using a LOCTITE 270 type thermoplastic liquid.
If a rubber dust cover is to be used, install it
before installing the magnet.
Step 5
Apply power to magnet and cycle brake on several times to confirm friction disc r
otates freely.
Verify correct airgap.
Electrical Connection
Warner Electric ERD brakes are offered in 24,
96, 190, and 215 VDC versions. Energizing the
brake magnet with the proper voltage will cause
the magnetic field generated to overcome the
brake spring force and release the brake. Any
DC power source with adequate amperage will
operate the brake. Warner Electric offers 24
VDC controls to operate standard 24 VDC
brakes and full and half wave rectifiers to supply
96 or 190 VDC current for models with those
voltage ratings. Switches are customer supplied.
The magnets are not polarity sensitive, so any
magnet lead can be connected to any power
source lead.
