10.1: 
Brake Lining Replacement 
 
10.1.(a):  As a general guide, Magnetek recommends that brake linings be replaced when the 
linings wear down to 1/16” minimum thickness.  Table 4, taken from standard ICS 9-1993, Part 1:  
Electromagnetic Brakes, shows NEMA’s recommended range of minimum lining thickness for 
bonded and riveted linings on brake wheels from 8” to 19” diameter…
