Baylor brake overhaul

Baylor brake overhaul

Baylor brake overhaul

(OP)
Hello!

Does anybody here have any experience with Baylor brake overhaul? I'm especially interested in procedures of reconditioning air gap to its original factory dimensions.

We already have some experience with it, and we have tried to solve the problem by following next procedures:

1. putting a layer of weld on magnets and rotor and then machining of those parts to its factory dimensions.
- this was very time consuming, expensive, and we weren't able to keep the magnetic properties of material that was added by welding same as the magnetic properties of original material. Result - The brake didn't brake as good as it should have

2. then we have tried to solve the problem by insertion of ring (or sleeve to be more precise) on rotor, which was fixed on rotor by welding it on a lot of places to rotor. Of course, before insertion of sleeve, the rotor was cleaned and the surface on which the sleeve leans on was premachined. After sleeve was welded to rotor, the rotor was machined to keep the air gap in its original factory dimensions.
- this procedure was much faster, but again, the brake didn't brake as good as it should have

I think that the biggest problem is that I don't know the real properties or type of material of which the rotor is made, so I don't know which material to add on rotor to keep the magnetic properties of rotor unchanged.

Did anyone have some experiences with overhauls of Baylor brakes, and if someone did, which procedures did you apply and which materials have you used?

Thank you, I appreciate all the help!
