Product catalog summary
General Description: The MU series disc brake calipers are the smallest in the Twiflex range, designed for light-duty stopping and holding applications. They are compatible with discs of 8mm (0.31 in) or 12.7mm (0.50 in) thickness. Typically, one or two units are used per disc, but more can be added depending on disc size. Ideally, calipers should be mounted horizontally at the 3 or 9 o'clock positions relative to the disc.
Specifications: The caliper part number is 7680918, weighing 0.75 kg (1.65 lb). The pad wear allowance is 5mm (0.20 in), with a total pad area of 58 cm² (22.83 in²) for two pads. New pad dimensions are 30 x 50 x 21 mm (1.18 x 1.97 x 0.83 in), made from asbestos-free high friction material.
Available Spares: Key components include Arm Assembly - Thruster (6640177), Arm Assembly - Slotted (6640178), Pivot Post (8240039), Pad Retaining Spring (2400093), Tension Spring (2400109), and Brake Pad (7080047).
Installation and Maintenance: Twiflex disc brakes must use Twiflex asbestos-free brake pads to maintain warranty validity. The calipers can be used with standard Twiflex controllers for electric, pneumatic, and hydraulic systems. For pad replacement, ensure safety by securing the installation. Use pliers to remove and replace pads, cleaning the disc and pad recesses with a suitable agent like white spirit.
Braking Force: The maximum braking force varies by model: MU3 (2.75 kN), MUP (0.72 kN), MUS2 (0.6 kN), MUS3 (0.76 kN), MUS4 (2.6 kN), and MUH (0.51 kN).
