Ausco Products, INC.

Ball Ramp

Ausco invented and patented ball ramp brake technology in 1946. The original brake was designed before the era of power-assist braking as a solution to the need for increased braking performance. The design was standard on many agricultural vehicles throughout the 1950s and 60s.

High-torque, reliable, and cost-effective
Since Ausco patented the original energizing disc brake in 1946, the ball ramp brake has evolved into a more efficient and cost-effective design. Utilizing our latest patent-pending technology, Ausco’s ball ramp brakes operate at up to 95% mechanical efficiency for increased torque at lower handle efforts with negligible directional sensitivity. Our new, non-energizing designs eliminate the potential for lockup. This leads to the highest levels of customer satisfaction and reliability.
