TWIFLEX
Twiflex offers the largest range of industrial disc brake calipers in the world, along with manufacturing thrusters, industrial disc brake systems , and flexible couplings. Spring applied units may be retracted pneumatically, hydraulically or electrically (depending on caliper design) while most direct acting brakes have some form of positive retraction device.
The Twiflex GMR and GMR40 series of calipers for an industrial disc brake system are suitable for use with discs of 25.4 mm, and 40 mm thick, respectively. Minimum disc diameter is 610 mm.
The Twiflex MR series of calipers for industrial disc brakes are suitable for use with discs of 12.7 mm or 25.4 mm thick. Minimum disc diameter is 250 mm. Minimum disc diameter for the MR2 is 460 mm.
The Twiflex GMX series of industrial disc brake system calipers are similar to the MX range but offers greater pad area. The GMX25, GMX30 and GMX40 are suitable for use with discs of 25.4 mm, 30 mm and 40 mm thick, respectively. The SGMX caliper is only suitable for use with discs 25.4 mm thick. Minimum disc diameter is 610 mm.
The Twiflex MS series of disc brake calipers is suitable for use with a disc thickness of 12.7mm. Minimum disc diameter is 250mm.
The Twiflex T2 industrial caliper brakes have a split caliper design suitable for use with a minimum disc thickness of 5mm. The modules are mounted on each side of a central mounting plate of the same thickness as the brake disc. Minimum disc diameter is 120mm. Alternatively, the brake may be side-mounted with a spacer equal to the disc thickness between the two halves.
The standard Twiflex T20 disc calipers for industrial caliper brakes are used with a minimum disc diameter of 300 mm. They have a split caliper design suitable for use with a minimum disc thickness of 12.7mm. Optionally, the caliper can be supplied in a modified form for use with a minimum disc thickness of 8mm.
The Twiflex VKHD disc caliper for industrial caliper brakes is comprised of two halves, or hydraulic modules, and is suitable for use with a minimum disc thickness of 20mm. The modules of the industrial caliper brakes are mounted on each side of a central mounting plate 12mm thicker than the brake disc. Minimum disc diameter is 1000mm.
The Twiflex VKSD disc brake caliper is comprised of two halves, or spring modules, and is suitable for use with a minimum disc thickness of 20mm. The modules are mounted each side of a central mounting plate 12mm thicker than the brake disc. Minimum disc diameter is 1000mm.
The Twiflex T40 disc calipers for industrial caliper brakes feature a split caliper design suitable for use with a minimum disc thickness of 20mm. The modules are mounted each side of a central mounting plate of the same thickness as the brake disc. Minimum disc diameter is 300mm.
The Twiflex MX13, MX25, MX30 and MX40 series of disc brake calipers are suitable for any industrial disc brake system with disc thickness of 12.7mm, 25.4mm, 30mm and 40mm, respectively.
