How can I check and adjust the overload clutch?


Remedy

What is the distance between the clutch ring and the switch?

Manually trigger the clutch and verify that the red LED illuminates.

 

This is the LED that should be lit.

 

See if you can hold the polygon shaft firmly in your hand and disengage the clutch to stop the machine immediately.

 

If you need to alter the torque of the clutch, do the following:

Loose both black screws of the guiding channel.

 

Pull the channel to the back of the machine.

 

Now you can see the clutch.

 

The basic setting should be 70 NM – see the red mark.

 

Loose the countersunk screw and take the screw out.

 

Turn the clutch clockwise with a special tool or a drift punch and a plastic hammer.

 

You can reduce or increase the torque by steps off 5 Nm, in order to fit the countersunk screw in.
(Picture shows a reduction to 50 Nm)

 

Now push back the channel back into the machine and tighten the black screws.
