Design and Engineering
Twiflex Caliper Brakes MR Series are precision-engineered spring-applied disc brake caliper solutions, built for flexible installation, consistent braking performance and long service life across the most demanding industrial applications.
- Handles every disc thickness requirement with MR Series caliper designs suitable for 12.7mm and 25.4mm thick discs, accommodating minimum disc diameters from 250mm and 460mm for MR2 models
- Maximizes installation flexibility with caliper positioning at any angle around the disc periphery, with horizontal mounting at the 3 o'clock or 9 o'clock position delivering optimal braking performance
- Delivers precise, consistent braking torque with performance ratings based on fully bedded and conditioned asbestos-free brake pads at nominal friction coefficient of 0.4 for repeatable, reliable stopping force
- Scales braking capacity to every application requirement with one or two calipers per disc as standard, with additional calipers available to increase total braking torque on larger disc configurations
- Ensures clean, reliable pneumatic operation with dry, filtered and non-lubricated compressed air, controlled through manually or electrically operated control valves
Key Specifications
- Compatible disc thickness: 12.7mm and 25.4mm
- Minimum disc diameter 250mm, MR2 minimum 460mm
- Effective disc radius equals actual radius minus 0.03m for precise torque calculation
- Equalising link required for caliper mounting angles greater than 10 degrees from horizontal and vertical shaft applications
- Twiflex asbestos-free brake pads mandatory for full warranty compliance
Performance Advantages
- Cuts total installation complexity with flexible multi-angle caliper positioning that adapts to every machine layout and space constraint
