Description

Brake Module for Radial Arm Saws

Enhance the safety and efficiency of your Radial Arm Saw with the Brake Module from Original Saw Company. This essential component gives your saw a smooth and reliable stop every time.

Key Features of the Brake Module

  • Enhanced Safety: Reduces blade stop time significantly, minimizing the risk of accidents.
  • Superior Compatibility: Works seamlessly with all Original Saw models that do not contain a Variable Frequency Drive (VFD).
  • Easy Installation: Designed for user-friendly installation, requiring minimal tools or expertise, allowing for quick integration into your saw system.

When to Replace Your Brake Module

  1. The Brake Stops Functioning Correctly
    • Hard Starts or Tripping Out: If the brake doesn’t release properly, the saw may start hard or trip out during startup.
    • Stuck Brake: A stuck brake prevents the motor and shaft from spinning freely, making operation difficult.
  2. Visible Damage
    • Burnt or Charred Spots: Inspect the circuit board for burnt or charred areas.
    • Leakage: Look for fluid leakage from the large cylinder on the module.
    • Broken Capacitors: Check for damaged capacitors or other visible wear on the module board.
  3. Extended Stop Time
    • If the saw blade fails to stop within the recommended timeframe, it’s a sign the brake module is not performing optimally. Related components such as the brake disc, fan, liner, and tie rod kit with springs may also need replacement.
  4. Burned-Out Brake Coil
    • If the brake coil burns out, replace the coil and the brake module simultaneously. A failed coil can damage the module, so addressing both components together ensures proper functionality.

Reliable Safety for Your Workshop

The Brake Module from Original Saw Company ensures smooth operation and reduces downtime in your workshop. Its design enhances user safety, making it a critical component for any Radial Arm Saw.
