Blue Loctite (McMaster P/N 1004A12) is recommended on all bolts that thread into a tapped hole.
The following page will have all necessary information for the assembly of the Friction Brake.
Piston is not included. Can be purchased from McMaster (P/N 1691T142)
These will come pre-assembled. This step is used if you need to disassemble of change from the 1/2" hex cone to the 3/8" hex cone.
Thread the brake cone onto rod of cylinder. The threads of the shoulder bolt are relatively short so Loctite is recommended to be used.
We recommend attaching your desired pneumatic fittings in this step as the installation will be the easiest here.
The two #10-32 x 1.5”L bolts must be installed first due to the piston covering the heads of these bolts once the piston is mounted.
This step must be done during the final installation to the gearbox/plate where the brake will be mounted.
