The ‘MU’ series of disc brake calipers is the smallest in the Twiflex range and is designed for light duty stopping and holding duties.
Left or right hand units are available. The range of calipers should be operated using dry, filtered and non-lubricated compressed air.
Pneumatic brakes require a control valve, which may be operated either manually, or by pneumatic or electrical signal.
Minimum disc diameter for the MU caliper is 150mm. This range of calipers are normally used with 8mm thick discs, but with revised thruster mounting arrangement they can be used with standard Twiflex discs of 12.7mm thick. (see section 4) The ratings shown on the graphs are based on fully bedded and conditioned brake pads with nominal friction coefficient μ = 0.4 Fixing Bolt customer supply. Twiflex Disc Brakes must be used with Twiflex asbestos free brake pads. Effective Disc Radius = Actual Disc Radius (m) - 0.02m |
