WCSB3 tensioner is availablein multipledesigns. The model number identifies the multiple of discs and the nominal disc diameter. For example, 436WCSB3 indicates there are four total discs in the assembly and the nominal diameter of the water-cooled discs is 36″ diameter. Note that the air-cooled disc is typically larger in diameter by 2″ when compared to the water-cooled disc; therefore, the model number will refer to the total number of Water cooled plus Air Cooled discs. Additional notations may be made in describing the model number to indicate the number of water-cooled (WC) disc assemblies and number of air cooled (AC) discs. For example, a 436WCSB3 (3WC/1AC) would indicate three water-cooled discs and one air-cooled disc.

When size, such as 36WCSB3, is referred to in this manual, it means that the information given applies to all models using the 36″ diameter water-cooled disc assembly;i.e., 236WCSB3, 336WCSB3.

Tensioners can be used with either closed loop or open loop fresh water systems. Tensioners can be used with closed loop 50/50 ethylene glycol systems.

This manual includes metric equivalents usually shown in (#) following the U.S. measurement system value. Be sure to use the correct value.

All Airflex WCSB3 tensioners are supplied with long

wearing, non-asbestos friction material .

How It Works

1.3

Referring to Figure 1 and Table 1, the gear (28) is mounted on the shaft which is to be stopped and the tensioner assembly is attached to the machine frame.

The WCSB3 has a dual chambered piston/ cylinder on the air-applied, water- cooled tensioner. Air pressure is first applied through the ports in the mounting flange/ cylinder (112) causing the piston (33) to apply force to the pressure plate assembly (116). As air pressure is applied through the ports in the cylinder (19) on the spring set section of the unit, the cylinder and pressure plate (13), which are attached to each other with screws (20), flat washers (17) and spacer tubes (27), move away from the mounting flange (112), which is connected to the machine frame. The pressure plate compresses the springs (22) and (53) against the stationary spring housing (16). As the pressure plate moves, the end plate subassembly (117) also moves away from the mounting flange/cylinder until it rests against the stop plates (125) which are axially fixed. The pressure plate (13) then continues to move away from the end plate subassembly and the clamp force is removed from the disc (119) that rides on the gear. As the end plate subassembly (117) moves towards the stop plates, the piston (33) and friction disc

subassembly move by means of the air pressure initially applied. Relieving the air pressure within the mounting flange/cylinder reduces the clamp force applied to the friction discs, allowing the shaft to be free to rotate. Modulation of the air pressure controls the applied torque of tensioner.
As air pressure is exhausted from both the mounting flange/cylinder (112) and the cylinder (19), the springs force the pressure plate (13) toward the mounting flange, clamping the disc (119) between the pressure plate and the end plate subassembly (117). As the piston (33) retracts, the endplate subassembly continues to move towards the mounting flange/ cylinder, pressing against the friction disc assemblies (7), reaction plate (30) and pressure plate subassembly (116). As the pressure plate (116) comes to rest against the mounting flange, the spring force clamps all discs between adjacent surfaces, applying stopping torque to the shaft.
High heat dissipation within the tensioner section in the WCSB3 is accomplished by passing water through a cavity behind copper alloy wear plates.
Caution The tensioner is never to be operated without the coolant supply attached and coolant running through the pressure plate (116), reaction plates (30) and end plate (117).
Dual Piston Design Advantages
The air applied pistons in the tensioner are available in either single or dual piston designs. The WCSB3 dual piston/cylinder(112) power head offers precise tensioning control by dividing the piston/cylinder into inner and outer sections (See Figure 1). This provides the ability to improve fine modulation of clamping pressure on the tensioner discs and improved control over our standard single chamber design. For very light tensioning loads, the outer piston can be used solely, with no pressure applied to the inner piston. For the largest tensioning loads, both pistons can be used together. If it is desirable to operate the tensioner at maximum tensioning load and not utilize the precise tensioning feature, the tensioner can be ordered without the intermediate piston seal (114).
Danger Prior to installationof the WCSB3 tensioner, make sure that the machinery will remain in a secured position. Failure to do so could result in serious personal injury or possibly death.
Warning Only qualified maintenance personnel should install, adjust or repair these units. Faulty workmanship will result in unreasonable exposure to hazardous conditions or personal injury.

To aid in obtaining an accurate reading, a rigid bracket should be fabricated for mounting a dial indicator when checking alignment.
Bearing or machinery manufacturers may require different alignment tolerances. Use the tightest of those recommended.
Refer to the appropriate catalog information (available upon request) for appropriate envelope dimensions, mounting register diameters, mounting bolt circles and positions for each specific tensioner.
The tensioner reaction member (such as the machine frame) should have a machined register to allow for mounting and alignment control of the tensioner. The mounting surface should be designed to provide full support of the face of the mounting flange/ cylinder (112), preventing deflection during operation.
For proper operation and service life, the tensioner reaction member must be aligned to the shaft within the limits shown in Table 2.

2.2 2.2.1

Mounting
The WCSB3 must be mounted to a clean, rigid surface with hardened flat washers and screws of the grade, quantity, and size as listed in Table 4. Mounting to a properly aligned, rigid surface that fully supports the face of the mounting flange/cylinder (112) minimizes any deflection during operation and helps to ensure that the friction discs will track properly within the mounting flange/cylinder (112), reaction plate (30) and pressure plate (13) assemblies.

Note 5: WARNING: Mounting Screws for mounting flange (112) must be Grade 8. Mounting Screws are Customer supplied.
Note: The 12 customer supplied mounting screws need to be Grade 8 and torqued to 70% yield load.
Note: To facilitate the mounting process, the friction disc assemblies should be aligned to the gear and centered in the tensioner. With the tensioner positioned with the mounting flange/cylinder (112) facing down, lower the gear (28) slowly and carefully into the splined bore of the friction disc assemblies (7). Adjust the discs so that they are centered in the tensioner. Apply and maintain an air pressure of 25 psig (1.7 Bar) to the cylinder to release the brake and install the gear. Center the Gear then release the air pressure and remove the gear.

Danger Use only the proper number and grade fasteners shown in Table 4. Use of commercial grade (Grade 2) fasteners where Grade 8 fasteners are specified may result in failure of the fasteners and a sudden and drastic reduction in brake torque.
Ensure that the shaft is free of nicks or burrs and the key fits properly in the shaft and gear.
Apply a light coat of anti-seizing compound to the shaft and key. Tap the key into the shaft keyway.
Heat the gear uniformly to 250°F (121°C) to expand the bore and ease assembly. Press the gear onto the shaft, making sure that the dimension between the gear and the tensioner mounting surface (“A”) is maintained. See Figure 1 and Table 3. Allow the gear to cool.
Caution Do not allow the gear temperature to exceed 350 degree F (176 degree C). Overheating the gear will adversely affect the hardness and wear life.
Apply a thincoat of MOLUB-ALLOY® 936SF Heavy grease to the gear teeth and slide the tensioner assembly onto the gear. (Reference Part Number 000153×1182).
Caution Excessive lubricant may contaminate friction material, resulting in erratic response or loss of torque.
Caution The use of anti-seize or bearing greases on the gear splines may result in premature gear and disc spline wear.
Pre-fill the grease channel in the friction disc splines with MOLUB-ALLOY 936SF Heavy grease or equivalent as shown in Figure 3. Try to maintain the grease level at 1/8″ (3mm) below the top of the friction disc splines as shown in Figure 3. For reference, the recommended grease is part Number 000153X1182.

WCSB3 Brakes

2.2.7 Rig the WCSB3 into position and slide it over the gear.

Caution Avoid placing lifting straps or cables directly on the release springs (34). Note: Orient the tensioner to position the drain plug (105) at a nominal 6 o’clock position. This will help ensure the coolant outlets are at a nominal 12 o’clock and a nominal 6 o’clock position (provided that the tensioner is been assembled correctly).

2.2.8

While supportingthe WCSB3, connect an air supply to the cylinder (19) and apply adequate pressure to release the brake. Attach the mounting flange/ cylinder (112) to the mounting surface using the appropriatefasteners. Tighten the fasteners to the specified torque value (See Table 4). Exhaust the air from the cylinder after tighteningthe fasteners.

Caution Maximum allowable air pressure in the cylinder (19) is 120 psi (8,2 bar). See sections 2.3 and 3.2 for further limitations.

2.2.9

WCSB3 tensioners should be covered to protect the unit from dirt, rain, overspray, and other sources of external contamination. In extreme environments them use of a sealed enclosure with internal strip heater is recommended to prevent moisture from collecting on the unit.

Warning Contamination from rain, overspray, coolant, dirt, oils and grease must be avoided. Failing to provide adequate protection against contamination may result in loss of performance and/or damage to the tensioner.

2.3 Air System

Warning Maximum allowableair pressure is 120 psig (8,2 Bar). Applicationof pressure exceeding maximum allowable pressure may result in damage to the tensioner. See section 3.2 for further limitations.

Caution Minimum releasing pressure for the spring set brake should be observed. Operation at pressures below minimum will result in brake drag, excessive heat and wear, and damage to break components.

Caution When applying operating pressure to only one of two ports on units with dual pressure pistons (33) and three seals (21), (23), (114), the second piston pressure port not being used must be open and vented to atmosphere. Porting should be filtered to avoid contamination of the piston/cylinder during single piston actuation.

2.3.1

Maximum allowablepressure is 120 psig (8,2 Bar) in the spring set brake cylinder (19) and 120 psig (8,2 Bar) in the air applied mounting flange/cylinder (112). See Section 3.2 for other limitations.

2.3.2

Use only clean, filtered air (a 40 micron filter or better is recommended) which is free of excess moisture. Long air line runs or dips in the line that allow moisture to collect should have drip legs with blow-down capability. Excess moisture due to temperature changes can be removed by using an inline ambient dryer.

2.3.3

Air inlet sizes are shown in Table 5. Air inlets for the spring set brake are on the face of the cylinder (19). There are three inlets located 120 degrees apart. Additionally, each size 36WCSB3 has one drain hole hat is to be used to purge moisture from the cylinder. See Figure 1 and reference the drain plug (105). The outermost port next to the drain plug shall be located at the 6 o’clock position to purge moisture that may accumulate in the air system or cylinder.

Air inlets for the air applied, water cooled tensioner are radially located in the mounting flange (Refer to Section 4.9.4).
Note: Purging of moisture from the air lines and cylinder should be performed at regular intervals as determined by the customer and the quality of air being supplied. Purging of moisture from the air lines and cylinder should be performed after extended periods of shutdown or down time.

2.3.4

Use full size pipingconsistent with the control valve size. All pipes should be free of metal chips, cutting compound and any other foreign matter. Pipe ends should be reamed after cutting to eliminate possible restrictions or airline contamination. For optimum air system response, a minimum number of bends and elbows should be used. Good engineering practices should be followed, such as, blow-down of all air piping after installation and before connecting and operating valves and the tensioner.

WCSB3 Brakes

2.3.5 2.3.6

Spool type solenoid valves are not recommended for the spring set side of the brake. Use poppet type valves and locate them as close as possible to the cylinder (19).
The WCSB3 tensioner does not require lubricatedair; however associated control valves may. Consult the valve manufacturer for appropriate recommendations.

Caution Installation of NPT or other incompatible threaded piping or fittings into SAE ports will damage the ports, resulting in leakage or other failure.

2.3.7 2.4 2.4.1
2.4.2

Caution

The use of lubricated air in the air supply system

(if required) will require the addition of a `point

of use’ lubricator. Lubricated air is not required for the

Tensioner but once lubricationis used, lubrication will

always be required in the air system. If the lubricator is

allowed to run dry then pneumatic valves and cylinders will dry out and stick thus creating erratic operation and

down-time. Good engineering design practices shall be

followed when using lubrication thus avoiding the

overuse of lubrication, long airline runs and elevation

changes.

A pressure switch should be located in the air supply line to the tensioner and interlocked with the equipment electrical controls to guard against operation of the tensioner when the brake is set.

Figure 4
Each inlet and outlet coolant port in each pressure plate (116), reaction plate (30) and end plate (117) is designed with a `fixed’ orifice. The fixed orifice is designed to proportion the flow to what is required by each component. Thus, a reaction plate that requires a total of 100 GPM has the ports designed to pass 50 GPM per port. Similarly, a pressure plate that requires 50 GPM has the ports designed to pass 25 GPM per port. (The pressure plate and the end plate are designed for 50% of the flow of the reaction

2.4.7 Coolant supply connections to the tensioner should provide a parallel flow through each section of the tensioner.
Warning Series flow is not recommended as it can lead to overheating of the tensioner.
2.4.8 Inlet and outlet coolant manifolds must be provided by the customer. Manifolds should be constructed to allow for even flow through all ports. Hoses can be routed to the pressure plate (116), reaction plates (30) and end plate (117) to assist with balancing the pressure drop.
2.4.9 Inlet and outlet coolant manifolds and hoses must be sized to handle the maximum flow for each size tensioner per Table 8.
Caution Do not plug any ports or plumb the cooling passages in series. Parallel arrangement of hoses similar to that shown in Figure 5 is required for proper coolant flow.
2.4.10 The number of flexible hoses required for both the inlet and outlet ports of each size tensioner is given in Table 9.

• Inlet hoses are located at the 3 o’clock & 9 o’clock position.
  ** Outlet hoses are located at the 12 o’clock & 6 o’clock position. Supply & Drain hoses must have an ID equal to or larger than the port orifice.

2.4.11

Using flexible connecting hose to each tensioner coolant section will allow axial travel of the pressure plate (116), reaction plate (30) and end plate (117) during tensioner operation without restricting the movement of components. When determining hose lengths, consideration should be given to movement and location of the pressure plate and reaction plate as friction material wears. Hose lengths running between the manifolds and the inlet or outlet ports should be equal in length, if possible. Reductionsin the recommended line diameter should be avoided to prevent excessive line pressures.

Caution Short or excessively rigid hoses may restrict proper movement of the pressure plate and reaction plates.

2.4.12

Avoid the use of sharp bends and elbows that will restrict water flow. Loops and bends in the lines may create air pockets, which substantially reduce the flow of coolant and can contribute to overheating.

2.4.13

Coolant and coolant supply lines should be free of foreign material (a 500 micron water filter is recommended). In the event that contaminated water is used as a coolant (not generally recommended), use of a multi-stage filter/strainer may be desirable to avoid the need for frequent cleaning of fine mesh filters.

The maximum coolant supply temperature at the inlet should be 100°F (38°C) or lower. The coolant outlet temperature should not exceed the values given in Table 10. However, in no event should there be more than a 50°F (28°C) temperature rise between inlet and outlet. See Table 10 for maximum allowable outlet coolant temperature with various water/ethylene glycol mixtures and other cooling media.

2.4.16 Open Loop Systems
2.4.16.1 For efficient operationof the WCSB3, an adequate supply of filtered fresh water is required. Excessive water hardness promotes the formation of scale deposits, which in time, will affect the service life of the WCSB3 unit. Water of high acidity or high in corrosive salts may cause electrolytic corrosion between the dissimilar metals used in the water cavities. Water treatment should be considered if the properties of the water exceed the following:

Equivalent calcium carbonate content hardness; Maximum = 100 ppm.

pH value = 7.0 to 9.0

Caution Open loop systems should be thoroughlyflushed with clean fresh water after operation to reduce the corrosive effects of contaminants on internal components.
2.4.17 Closed Loop Systems
2.4.17.1 For efficient operationof the WCBD3 in a closed loop system, ethylene glycol coolant conforming to SAE Standard J1034 should be used. For preparation of the proper concentration of a water/ ethylene glycol mixture, use make-up water which is low in corrosive ions such as chlorides and sulfates.

Recommended pH value of the water ethylene glycol mixture is 7.5 to 10.5
3.0 OPERATION
3.1 Conditions of Operation
The following HAZARD Warnings shall be followed for proper WCSB3 functioning.

WCSB3 Brakes

Warning Friction lining must be worn-in to achieve product torque rating for new installations or after repair. Verify proper operation before putting the product into service. See Section 3.3 for additional burnishing procedures.

Table 11 Maximum Disc Speeds

Size 36WCSB3

Maximum Slip Speed (Rpm)
475

Maximum Free Wheeling Speed (Rpm)
700

Warning Protective means must be used to prevent oil, grease, dirt or coolant from coming into contact with the surfaces of the friction discs (8) or the wear plates (3). Oil or grease on these parts will significantly reduce the torque capacity of the unit. Dirt or coolant will produce erratic torque. Do not risk personal injury of damage to the equipment.

3.2 3.2.1

Warning Maximum free-wheeling speed must not exceed the speeds listed in Table 11. Exposure to speeds in excess of these values may cause the frictiondiscs (8) to burst and result in extensive damage to the tensioner and/or cause personal injury.

3.2.2

Caution For proper cooling of the WCSB3 tensioner, it is required that the coolant inlet and outlet manifolds be located as close as possible to the tensioner. It is recommended that the inlet hoses are of the same length and all outlet hoses are of the same length.

3.2.3

Caution For operation in subfreezing temperatures, ethylene glycol antifreeze must be added to the water. The antifreeze content of the mixture is critical and should not exceed 50% by volume. Excessive amounts of antifreeze will reduce cooling capacity and can cause coolant leakage due to overheating. Refer to Table 10 for the percentage of water/ethylene glycol mix and the corresponding maximum outlet coolant temperature.

Caution The coolant outlet temperature should not exceed the values given in Table 10. However, in no event should there be more than a 50°F (28°C) temperature rise between inlet and outlet. See Table 10 for maximum allowable outlet coolant temperature with various water/ethylene glycol mixtures and other cooling media.

3.2.4 3.2.5

Caution

Maximum ambient temperature is 110°F (43°C). Mini-

mum ambient temperature for closed loop systems

using ethylene glycol antifreeze is 0°F (-18°C). For

open loop systems using water as a coolant, the mini-

mum ambient temperature is 45°F (7°C)

Caution

3.3

The tensioner is never to be operated without the

3.3.1

coolant supply attached and coolant running through

the unit.

Pressure and Speed Limits
Maximum allowablecoolant pressure is 40 psig (2.8 bar) for size 36WCSB3 units. The use of an accumulator or pressure relief valve may be desirable to reduce the effect of pressure spikes in the coolant system during operation.
Warning Applied pressure or surges exceeding maximum allowable may result in damage to the tensioner.
Maximum slip speeds and free-wheeling disc speeds are shown in Table 11.
Caution Excessive slip speeds will result in rapid friction material wear. For good life, the values in Table 11 should not be exceeded.
Maximum allowable air pressure is 120 psig (8,2 bar) in the spring set brake cylinder (19). Refer to the assembly drawing (available on request) for minimum pressure required for full release of the spring set brake. Release pressure is dependent upon the quantity of springs (22) (52) used in the specific brake.
Note: Maximum air pressure is 150 psig in the air applied tensioning cylinder for 2 and 3 disc 36WCSB3 tensioners. Maximum allowable air pressure is 120 psig For the 436WCSB3 tensioner with MIDCO friction discs. The WCSB3 mounting is designer for safe operation up To 2,500,000 in-lb. braking torque. Refer to the assembly drawing (available on request) for specific pressure and/or torque limits.
Maximum operating pressure of the cylinder (19) – air applied side of the tensioner- is 120 psig (8,2 bar). Minimum release pressure of the spring set brake is 120 psig (8.2 bar).
Maximum operating pressure of the mounting flange/ cylinder (112) is 120 psig (8,2 bar).
Warning Operating cylinder (19) or mounting flange/cylinder (112) at pressure above 120 psig (8,2 bar) may cause damage to the tensioner. Heat generated during operation could result in damage to brake components.
Wear-in Procedures
In order to improve initial operation and brake torque, it is suggested that the non-asbestos friction material used in WCSB3 brakes be worn-in prior to normal operation to improve contact of the mating friction surfaces.
15

WCSB3 Brakes

3.3.2 3.3.3

Caution Machine operation should be monitored closely until the friction couple wears in.
The shaft on which the brake discs are mounted should be free to rotate to allow for run-in. On drawworks applications, disconnect the wire rope from the draw-works drum to allow operation as described in the following paragraphs.
Ensure that the coolant system is operating prior to dynamic operationof the WCSB3 tensioner. Verify that coolant temperature, pressure and flow values are within required settings or limits during operation. See Table 6, Table 7 and Table 10.

3.3.4 3.3.5

Caution Dynamic operation of the WCSB3 – includingwhile in the fully released condition – is not recommended without proper coolant flow in the tensioner. Heat generated during operation could result in damage to brake components.
Release the brake by applyingfull release air pressure through the ports in the cylinder (19) to allow the brake to freely rotate. Apply no air pressure to the tensioner pressure ports in the mounting flange/ cylinder (112).
Run the motor to achieve a brake disc speed listed in Table 12. Exhaust the air pressure in the brake rapidly to 90 psi (6,1 bar). Slip the brake for the time specified in Table 12, but DO NOT ALLOW THE BRAKE TO SLIP FOR MORE THAN THE TIME SPECIFIED.

Caution Slipping the brake at increased time intervals, speeds or pressures other than specified will result in damage to brake components.

3.3.6

After the brake has engaged/slippedfor up to the maximum slip time specified in Table 12, quickly apply full air pressure to completely release the brake. Smoke rising from the brake should be expected. Free-wheel the brake discs at the speed listed in Table 12, allowing the brake disc (119) to cool to a temperature below 120°F (49°C). The use of fans or clean, dry compressed air can be used to accelerate the cooling process.
Caution Use proper safety precautions when using forced ventilation.

3.3.7 3.3.8 3.4 3.4.1
3.4.2
3.4.3
3.4.4

Monitor the brake disc (119) temperature after slipping and cooling. Do not allow the brake disc temperature to exceed 180°F (82°C).
Repeat steps 3.3.4 thru 3.3.7 for the number of cycles shown in Table 12 to allow for adequate wearin of the air-cooled brake. Allow the brake disc to completely cool to ambient temperature prior to testing the torque capacity of the brake or returning it to service.
Operational Sequence
Ensure that the coolant system is operating prior to dynamic operationof the WCSB3 tensioner. Verify that coolant temperature, pressure and flow values are within require settings or limits during operation.
Caution Dynamic operation of the WCSB3 – includingwhile in the fully released condition – is not recommended without proper coolant flow in the tensioner. Heat generated during operation could result in damage to brake components.
Air pressure is first applied through the ports in the mounting flange/cylinder (112) to apply force to the piston (33) in the tensioner. Adequate pressure should be applied to support the load the tensioner is controlling. Air pressure is then applied through the ports in the cylinder (19) on the spring set section of the unit, until it is fully released.
Caution Observe all pressure and speed limits while operating the WCSB3 tensioner. See Section 3.2.
After release of the spring set brake, slowly relieve the air pressure within the mounting flange/cylinder (112) to reduce the clamp force applied to the friction disc assemblies (7), allowing the shaft to rotate. Modulation of the air pressure will vary the applied torque of the tensioner. Modulation control is dependent upon the specific pneumatic control system used. Refer to the manufacturers’ information for operation of control valves or feedback systems.
WCSB3 tensioners with dual pressure pistons (33) provide a more finite range of control. Each chamber within the dual pressure piston can be pressurized independently or simultaneously.
Caution
When applying or exhausting operating pressure to only one of two ports on units with dual pressure pistons (33), the second piston pressure port must be open (vented) to atmosphere. Open ports should be filtered to avoid contamination of the piston and cylinder during piston operation.

3.5.4 3.5.5

Exhausting air pressure from the cylinder (19) of the spring set brake allows it to engage. Air pressure within the mounting flange/cylinder (112) can be exhausted simultaneously with that in the cylinder (19). For more rapid brake response, exhaust the air pressure in the mounting flange/cylinder (112) after engaging the spring set brake.
Note: The spring set brake is intended for parking or emergency braking only.
Warning Dynamic braking with the air cooled, spring set brake is not recommended except for emergency stopping situations or during initial wear- in. High heat generated during dynamic braking can result in damage or failure of the brake components.
Caution Rapid engagement of a fully released tensioner/brake could result in pressure spikes within the coolant cavities and subsequent leakage.
Periodic Maintenance
As the friction material wears, adjustment of the brake may be required to keep pistons and cylinders within the proper stroke range. See the MAINTENANCE section for wear adjustment procedures and component wear limits.
Periodically check for external air leakage in the area of the piston seals (21) (23) in cylinder (19) and mounting flange/cylinder (112) and internal leakage across the dual pressure piston seals (114) in mounting flange/cylinder(112). For replacement, refer to procedures in Section 4.0, Maintenance.
Moisture that may accumulate in the brake cylinder can be purged on size 36WCSB3 units. With air pressure exhausted from the cylinder, remove the pipe plug (105) at the 6 o’clock position on the cylinder, and apply low air pressure to assist in expelling any excess moisture. After draining the cylinder, reinstall the pipe plug, applying a pipe thread sealant on the threads prior to installation.
Caution Applied air pressure greater than 10 psi (0.68 bar) should not be used when draining the cylinder. Use adequate shielding to avoid contact with direct spray from moisture being purged from the cylinder.
Periodically observe the rotating discs while the tensioner is fully released. Dragging discs may be caused by wear or contaminationof the gear or disc splines, lack of spline lubrication, disc imbalance, warped discs, or misalignment. Correct as required.
Pneumatic and electrical control interlocks should be periodically checked for proper settings and operation.

3.5.6 If leakage or blockage of any water-cooled chamber is suspected, a static or dynamic test may be performed as follows:

3.5.6.1 Static Pressure Test:

a)

Release the spring set brake by applying the proper

air pressure.

Warning Ensure that the machinery will remain in a safe position prior to releasing the brake.

b)

Bleed all air from within the coolant cavity. Air

bleeding must be accomplished by running coolant

through the cavity with the tensioner secured in its

proper operating position.

Caution Bleeding air from each coolant cavity will require isolation of the drain ports. When static test is complete, all isolation shall be removed to maintain full flow throughthe system.

Warning Removing any hoses for isolation of the supply or drain ports will require a compatible fitting for the ORB porting. Failure to do so will damage the porting and cause leakage, a loss of flow and possible damage to the tensioner.

Note: Avoid contaminating the friction material with coolant or water.

Warning Contamination of the friction material could result in erratic or loss of torque.

c)

After the air has been removed, install pipe plugs in

the outlets and apply maximum allowable coolant

pressure measured at the inlet to the water cavity.

Maximum allowable is 40 psig (2.8 bar) for size

36″ units. Maintain this pressure for 30 minutes.

Check for leakage at all O.D. and I.D. wear plate

sealing areas.

Caution Be sure to apply and retain air pressure to the cylinder (19) of the tensioner to release the spring pressure on the tensioner / brake during static coolant pressure testing. Engagement of the brake during testing could develop surge pressures exceeding the maximum allowable within the coolant cavities resulting in possible damage to the seals.

3.5.6.2 Dynamic Flow Test:

a)

Dynamic flow testing of the tensioner should

be conducted at the required flow rate for the rated

HP dissipation and coolant quality, as given in Table

8. Inlet and outlet pressures for the appropriate

tensioner size should not to be exceeded.

17

ports of the brake to cause any back pressure to the unit (Refer to Section 2.4.4 adding flow controls). Coolant inlet and outlet sizes are listed in Table 8. Full size hoses and pipingshould be used. Check for low flow and/orleakage at all O.D. and I.D. wear plate sealing areas.

Warning Periodically examine the tensioner for wear of friction linings, discs and wear plates. Failure to perform this examination will result in excessive wear, a significant reduction in torque, and may result in personal injury and/ or damage to the machinery.

Wear Adjustment

Warning Only qualified maintenance personnel should install, adjust or repair the WCSB3 units. Faulty workmanship will result in unreasonable exposure to hazardous conditions or personal injury.

Wear adjustment is periodically required as the friction material and mating surfaces wear. Wear adjustment reduces the running clearances between these surfaces to help maintain the holding force of the brake (for the spring applied feature), and to maintain the responsiveness of the brake by limiting

WCSB3 Brakes

Warning Failure to perform wear adjustments when required may result in loss of adequate brake torque and potential injury to personnel or damage to equipment. Be certain to inspect the brake periodically to evaluate for wear, and adjust as necessary.

4.2.1 Brake Inspection and Evaluation

To determine when brake adjustment is required, the

brake should be evaluated as follows:

(d)

4.2.1.1 Visually inspect for friction material wear.

Note: The friction material is fully worn when the wear has reached the bottom of the wear groove as shown in Figure 6. Note: If fully worn, replace the friction material and evaluate the condition of the mating wear surface. Note: If the wear limits on any of the friction discs have been reached, determine if brake adjustment is Required by proceeding to the next steps.

DUST/WEAR GROOVES

Figure 6
4.2.1.2 Measure for brake wear:
(a) Ensure that the load that the brake supports will be properly secured from possibility of movement when no pressure is being applied to the brake being inspected.
(b) Exhaust all air pressure from the pressure chambers on both ends of the WCSB3 brake being evaluated. Pressurized areas are located in the following: (e) · Cylinder (19) · Mounting Flange (112).
If more than one WCSB3 brake is used in the drive- (f ) line, exhaust all air pressure from those brakes also.
Note: Follow the reccomendations of the control system manufacturer to ensure that no air pressure (g) is trapped in the brake or control system, and that the control system has been safely isolated from the brake while performing inspections.
(h) (c) Verify that the air pressure has been fully exhausted
from these chambers by checking any in-line gauges (they should read zero pressure), and also by inspecting specific gaps between components as noted below. Refer to Figure 7 & Figure 7A for the corresponding gap locations.

Pressure in the cylinder (19) has been exhausted if the measured gap Z-1 is greater than zero, and there is no clearance between each side of the disc (119) and the corresponding friction material. Pressure in the mounting flange (112) has been exhausted if gap Z-2 (See Figure 7A), located between the mounting flange and the pressure plate (116) is equal to .250″ (6.35mm) and gap W is greater than zero.
Measure gaps between the components at positions W, X, Y-1, and if applicable,Y-2, and Y-3. See Figure 7 & Figure 7A for the location of those gap positions.
For reference:
The W-gap is the measurement between the end plate (117) and the stop plates (125) and is used to determine when adjustment of the water-cooled section of the brake is required. This gap will increase as the brake wears.
The X-gap is the measurement between the end plate (117) and the pressure plate sub-assembly (13) and is used to determine when adjustment of the air- cooled section of the brake is required. This gap will decrease as the brake wears.
The Y gaps are measurements between the various wear plate sub-assemblies and are used to help evaluate the wear of the water-cooled friction discs and wear plates. These gaps will decrease as the brake wears. The wear limit for each of the Y gaps is the same for Y-1, Y-2 or Y-3.
Y-1 is the measurement between the mounting flange (116) and the reaction plate (30).
Y-2 is the measurement between the reaction plate (30) and the adjacent reaction plate (30). The Y-2 gap is found only on brakes that have three or more water-cooled’ discs.
Y-3 is the measurement between the reaction plate (30) and the end plate (117).
Record the W, X, Y-1, Y-2, and Y-3 values measured for each of the gaps, and compare them against the values listed in Table 14.
If the value measured for any Y gap (Y-1, Y-2, Y-3) is equal to or less than the Y-min value, the brake should be removed from service and repaired with new wear components.
If the value measured for all Y gaps (Y-1, Y-2 or Y-3) is greater than the Y-min value, proceed to evaluate the measurement for gap W as follows:
If the measurement for gap W is equal to or greater that the adjust value shown on Table 14, wear adjustment is required. Adjust the brake per the procedures listed in section 4.2.2.

4.3 Disassembly Procedures

4.2.2.2 Loosen the locknuts (18) – ONE TURN AT A TIME and in an alternating(cross wise) pattern. Loosen each locknut only two or three turns to allow access to the wear spacers (29) and support beam wear spacers (139)
Caution The locknuts (18) must not be loosened unless the hex head screws (20) are in place.
4.2.2.3 Wear spacers (29) are slotted to allow for in-place removal. Using a narrow chisel wedged into the slot of the wear spacer, as shown in Figure 8, pry the wear spacer until it fractures and is clear to be removed from the stud. Support beam wear spacers (139), Figure 8A, are designed with a slot to allow for positioning with alignment pins (Hex screw, nut and washer 142, 143 & 145) as shown in Figure 1B, Section Z-Z. Loosen the hex locknut (145) that captures the support beam wear spacers between the stop plate (125) and the wear spacer retainer (141). Slide out one support beam wear spacer. Reposition the remaining spacers and tighten the selflocking nut. Torque the locknuts to specification per values in Table 4.
Repeat for the remaining spacers (29) and support beam spacers (139) in the set that is to be removed.
Warning Be sure to collect all wear spacers (29) and all support beam wear spacers (139) when removed. Spacers lodging in between tensioner components could prevent the tensioner from properly engaging or releasing.

Caution Before the gasket tape is covered with the wear plate, the sealing surface should be protected to prevent contamination from dust, dirt or oils. No additional cleaning or liquid should be applied to the surface of the IRON or gasket tape.
Inspect the new wear plates (3) and remove any scratches or raised edges with very fine sandpaper or steel wool. Position the smoothest side of the wear plate on the sealing surface, being careful to align the holes with those in the IRON.

4.5.6

Position the support rings (50) & (51) over the holes in the wear plates (3) and install the new hex head screws (4) and locknuts (5) provided, securing them finger tight.

Note: the Outer support Ring (51) is comprised of two sizes. A description of each ring and where to mount them is described in Section 4.5.6.1.

4.5.6.1 The Outer Support Ring (51) is comprised of two sizes. One section is shorter than the other and the shorter section has 7 holes. The longer section has 9 holes. The longer section has two holes separated by a larger gap than the others. The gap is to be mounted over each coolant port. Torque the mounting screws per Table 4 and follow the torque tightening instructions found in Section 4.5.7.

Caution To prevent excessive warping of the wear plate and to endure a good seal, the following torque tightening procedure must be followed.

4.5.7 For each wear plate being replaced, the torque tighteninginstructions are as follows:

Note: The torque of the screws & nuts (4) (5) that attach the wear plate (3) to the mounting flange (1), reaction plate (30) & pressure plate (13) is a four step process.

(a)

Step One: For the first 16 screws, bring the initial

torque of each screw up to 33% of the torque value

shown in Table 15 using the tightening sequence

shown in Figure 12. Install and torque the remaining

screws in any reasonable crosswise pattern to 33%

of the torque value shown in Table 15.

(b) Step Two: Repeat the sequence of torque tightening on the first 16 screws as shown in Figure 12 and bring each screw up to 66% of the torque value shown in Table 15. Torque the remaining screws in any reasonable crosswise pattern to 66% of the torque value shown in Table 15.

(c)

Step Three: Repeat the sequence of torque tightening

on the first 16 screws as shown in Figure 12 and

bring each screw up to 100% of the torque value

shown in Table 15. Torque the remaining screws

in any reasonable crosswise pattern to 100% of the

torque value shown in Table 15.

WCSB3 Brakes

(d) Step Four: Finish torque tightening by selecting a starting position (usually at the 12 o’clock position) and check the 100% torque of each screw going in a sequential clockwise or counterclockwise rotation. Mark or highlightscrew head or nut & shank after final torque check as a visual indication that the screw/nut has been tightened to specification shown in Table 15.

Mounting Flange/Cylinder Seals Note: If the tensioner was completely removed and disassembled to replace seals, refer to Section 4.9 to assemble.

4.6.2.1 Carefully examine the seal surfaces in the water cooled cylinder or mounting flange/cylinder (112). If the surfaces have worn to point as indicated on Table 13, the cylinder must be replaced. Small nicks or scratches must be sanded smooth to prevent air leakage.

4.6.2.2 Lubricate the seal surfaces in the mounting flange/ cylinder (112) with Molykote® O-ring lubricant and carefully slide the cylinder onto the spring housing. Take special care to avoid damaging the seal lips.

4.6.2.3

Attach the mounting flange /cylinder(112) to the pressure plate (116) with the screws, washers and spacer tubes removed in Section 4.6.1.1 Use Loctite® LocQuic® Primer Grade “T” to clean and prepare the screw threads and install with Loctite® #262. Using a crosswise pattern, torque the screws to the value shown in Table 4.

Warning Loctite® Primer “T” containsharmful vapors. Refer to the product label for proper safety precautions.

Caution Loctite® #262 must be shaken prior to application.

Caution Loctite® #262 may irritatesensitive skin. Refer to the product label for proper safety precautions.
4.6.2.4 If mounting flange cylinder seals (21), (23) and (114) have been replaced, reassemble the tensioner/brake per Section 4.9.

4.6.3

Install air lines and air test the assembly for seal leakage per the following:
Apply 120 psi (8.2 bar) to an open port in the cylinder (19) to disengage the spring-set brake and check for release cylinder leakage. Apply 120 psi (8.2 bar) to the outer port in the mounting flange cylinder (112) and check for outer seal leakage. Allow the inner port in the mounting flange cylinder (112) to remain open to check for potential leakage from the outer cylinder area to the inner cylinder area in the mounting flange cylinder. Shut off the air supply and check for pressure drop from the cylinders. If air pressure does not drop below 100 psi (6.8 bar) within 10 minutes, the seals have been properly installed.
Continue the test by releasing the air pressure in the outer port in the mounting flange cylinder, and applying 120 psi (8.2 bar) to the inner port in the mounting flange (112). The outer port should remain open to atmosphere. Apply 120 psi (8.2 bar) to the cylinder (19) to disengage the spring set brake. Check for leakage from the inner cylinder area to the outer

Spring Replacement of outer & inner apply springs (22) & (52) for Air Cooled Brake
Remove the tensioner as an assembly, and disassemble per Section 4.3.
Match mark the cylinder (19), spring housing (16), and pressure plate subassembly (13) to one another, to ease reassembly.
With the cylinder (19) facing up, disassemble the cylinder/springhousing subassembly by loosening the hex head screws (20) ONE TURN AT A TIME, following a crosswise sequence, until the spring force is relieved. Remove the hex head screws and washers.
Caution Failure to loosen the screws (20) evenly and in small increments as described may cause the screws or cylinder to bind.
Lift and set aside the spring housing (16) and cylinder (19) as a subassembly to expose the springs. Note the locations of the springs and spring retainers (53) – if applicable- for reassembly purposes. See Figure 1, Figure 1A and Figure 1B.
Inspect the springs for distortion by checking the free height. If the free height of any spring is less than the value shown on Table 13, the entire set of springs must be replaced. Inspect the spring for any surface fractures or high temperature color change. Any conditions found require the entire set of springs to be replaced.
Reassemble the tensioner by following the procedures in Section 4.9, beginningwith section 4.9.20.
Caution The cylinder (19), spring housing (16) and end plate (117) should not be re-assembled as a separate subassembly. Improper assembly procedures may result in uneven contact of the friction material with the disc (119), resulting in low stopping torque.
Bushing Replacement Note: The reaction plate (13), pressure plate (30) and end plate (117) have bushings (54) installed in the reaction holes (Figure 14). The reaction plate, pressure plate and end plate bushings are different lengths. Be sure to install the correct length bushing in the proper component. Refer to the reaction plate, pressure plate and end plate sub- assemblies in the parts list (Section 6) for the selection of the proper replacement bushing.

stop plate (125) 3. Locate at each stud (6) between stop plate (125) and clamp tube(124)_

4.9.15 Assemble the friction discs (118) to the end plate subassembly (117) and pressure plate (13) per the following:

Position the friction material to align the screw holes. Apply Loctite® #262 to the screw threads and tighten the screws (121) to 20 ft-lb (27 Nm). Install the screws in an even, crosswise pattern. Screws in friction disc should be installed from the center most position in the block, then progressing towards the outer edges of the block. One at a time, install and torque each screw immediately after applicationof Loctite®, then proceed to the next screw.

Warning Loctite® may cure prior to properly tightening the screw if not tightened to the proper torque value immediately after installation.

Caution Use only Airflex-suppliedscrews.

Caution Loctite #262 must be shaken prior to application.

Caution Loctite #262 may irritate sensitive skin. Refer to the product label for proper safety precautions.

4.9.16

Lower the disc (119) onto the friction material on the end plate subassembly (117), centering it on the friction blocks or disc. Align the splines with those in the tensioner friction disc sub-assemblies (7).

4.9.17 Assemble the stop plates (125) so that they rest against support beam wear spacers (139).

Note: Each stop plate (125) installs over four studs (6). Locate ends of stop plates (125) over support beam wear spacers (139). Refer to Figure 8A. The support beam spacer (139) and the spacer retainer (141) mount over the support beam (138) and studs (6). The ends of each stop plate overlap the support beam spacer as shown in Figure 8A. The small screw hole at one end of the stop plate should line up with the middle screw hole in the spacer retainer if the stop plates are properly assembled.
