To install the conduit box on the size 400 unit,
refer to the instructions supplied with conduit
box.

B. Mounting the Magnet
The brake magnet is mounted to a stationary
machine member by a flange. Extreme care
must be taken in selecting the location for the
mounting of the magnet. Proper positioning is
very important for the unit to function correctly.
1. A pilot diameter on the mounting surface is
essential to hold the magnet within the
required tolerances (Figure 1).

2. A machined pilot diameter is provided on the
magnet mounting flange (refer to illustration
drawings page 10-17) to aid in the proper
positioning of the magnet.

3. An optional release spring may be used
with the standard armatures and hubs. The
release spring forces the armature back
against the hub retainer ring when the magnet
coil is de-energized.
3. Once the mounting surface has been
prepared, the magnet is bolted in place with
capscrews and lockwashers. (Figure 2.)
4. After assembly, the magnet must be
concentric and square within the required
tolerances listed on the illustration drawing.
C. Assembling the Armature and Hub
1. The antibacklash armatures are shipped
assembled and ready to be installed. See
Step D.
2. The standard armature and hub must be
assembled before it can be installed.
Assemble the armatures so that the shiny
surfaces (120 and 170) or backing plate sides
(250 and 400) are against the hub retainer
ring (Figure 3).
Follow these instructions to assemble the
armature and hub when the optional release
springs are being used.

Assemble the splined armature to the hub. The
shiny side of the armature should be against the
hub retainer ring.
Assemble the release spring into the groove in the
hub spline. The curved portion of the spring should
be against the armature. (Figure 4)

Installation Instructions
Conduit box kit No. 5200-101-010 contains all
components needed to assemble a conduit box for
PB400 brake.
When properly installed, this conduit box is
designed to provide a proper means for field wiring
terminations. It conforms to the requirements of
Underwriters Laboratories.
Do not connect rigid conduit
directly to the conduit box. A minimum of 12”
of flexible liquid tight conduit or other suitable
flexible wiring with appropriate fittings is
required. Flexible wiring is required to
prevent side loading of bearing on bearing
mounted clutches and possible deformation
or breakage of the conduit box or
clutch/brake components during assembly.
Step 1
Assemble a customer supplied flexible wiring
connector into desired end of conduit box (3).
Press protective plug (5) into unused conduit hole.
Components
Thread green washer head hex screw (9) into
round hole in base of conduit box. Place terminal
ring (9-1) over screw before inserting.
Snap two wire grommets (6) into square holes in
conduit box base. The grommet crowns should
be toward the outside of the box and the rubber
flanges should be on both sides of the conduit
box.
Push two terminal spacers (7) through rubber
grommets. Number 6 spacers fit in PB400. (See
Figure 10)
