DB3604 GMR Mk 2 and GMR40 Mk 2 - Disc Brake Caliper

Product catalog summary
General Description: The GMR Mk 2 and GMR40 Mk 2 are disc brake calipers designed for use with various interchangeable thrusters, including pneumatic, hydraulic, and mechanical types. The calipers are typically used in pairs and can be mounted on horizontal or inclined surfaces with appropriate kits.
Specifications: The GMR caliper is compatible with 25mm thick discs, while the GMR40 is for 38-40mm thick discs. The minimum disc diameter is 610mm, with no upper limit. The calipers are made from spheroidal graphite cast iron, with alternatives available.
Components and Assembly: Key components include pivot bases, arms, pressure plates, and friction pads. The calipers are supplied as right-handed assemblies unless specified otherwise. Detailed part numbers and quantities are provided for assembly.
Installation and Maintenance: Installation requires clearance for differential expansion between the disc and hub. Maintenance involves regular greasing of the caliper arm and pivot pins, with specific procedures for extended use. Replacement of friction pads is necessary from the rear of the caliper.
Controllers and Safety: Twiflex offers standard controllers for various signalling systems. Only Twiflex asbestos-free brake pads should be used to maintain warranty validity. Health and safety data are referenced in DS 0500.
Additional Notes: The document includes a note on the potential for design modifications by Twiflex Limited and emphasizes the intellectual property rights of the content.
