The law of conservation of energy states that the total energy of an isolated system is constant; energy can be transformed from one form to another, but cannot be created or destroyed.
Brakes turn kinetic energy into heat energy.

Role of Brakes on a Dragline
Static Requirements (prevents undesired motion)
Hoist – Hold bucket
Propel – Hold shoes
Drag – Hold bucket
Swing – Maintain position
Pass motor stall test for boom raising and lowering
Dynamic Requirements (bring motion to a controlled stop)
- Catch a bucket
- Stop drag payout
- Stop machine rotation

Friction Liner Replacement
pads
Likely required after power loss, or running through brakes. Replacement requires removal of these pins through the use of hydraulics, sledge hammers, and overhead crane.

Clutch Brake - Exploded
![Page 19: Caliper Brakes in Dragline application - Mining Electrical · Caliper Brakes in Dragline application Selection, application, and installation of a modern dragline braking system .](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022040114/5e1db3e2ea736b74b91f1413/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Clutch Brake – Maintenance
Adjustment of clutch style brakes typically requires the unstacking of the disks off the spline hub, and removal of the static discs from the housing. With many of the wear items internal, these brakes are often left out of adjustment. When they are out of adjustment the brakes can not perform the required braking duties. Out of adjustment brakes are a hazard to personnel and equipment

Adjusting the caliper brakes only requires loosening of the jam nuts, turning the adjuster screw, and retightening the jam nuts. The quick and easy adjustment (generally less than 5 min/unit) means the brakes are kept in adjustment more consistently than other braking types, giving reliable performance.
Brake Adjustment
![Page 23: Caliper Brakes in Dragline application - Mining Electrical · Caliper Brakes in Dragline application Selection, application, and installation of a modern dragline braking system .](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022040114/5e1db3e2ea736b74b91f1413/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
To replace pads, drive out two 3/16” roll pins. The pads can be changed out without a hoist by a single technician, in less than 30min per unit.

Safety Considerations • The caliper brakes have some features that are very
desirable from a maintenance stand point. They include a safety feature to prevent the spring energy from becoming harmful.
• Also the design of the brakes allows for maintenance with
small hand tools, and the pieces themselves are light in comparison. The pads weigh less than five pounds.
• Unlike the drum brakes, the caliper disc brakes have very few “pinch points” the gap between rotor and pads when operating is .060” too tight to get a finger caught in.
![Page 26: Caliper Brakes in Dragline application - Mining Electrical · Caliper Brakes in Dragline application Selection, application, and installation of a modern dragline braking system .](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022040114/5e1db3e2ea736b74b91f1413/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
All of your dragline brakes are spring applied pneumatic release. The caliper brakes selected have a safety isolation feature. Inserting a bolt in the end of the caliper before servicing allows the brake to be worked on without fear of being injured by the energy captured in the springs. To secure the brake open for maintenance, simply remove the breather, and install a bolt in its place.
Isolation for Maintenance

Interchangeability of parts
Reduction of inventory. One pad/thruster fits all positions
