Product catalog summary
Overview: MICO, Inc. specializes in hydraulic components and brake systems for off-road markets, offering products like actuators, brakes, and valves. They are ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certified, focusing on quality and continuous improvement.
Caliper Disc Brakes: MICO provides caliper disc brakes in the 515, 520, and 530 Series, each tailored for specific applications such as static, dynamic, or parking brakes. These brakes are made from high-grade materials and undergo rigorous quality testing.
515 Series: Features floating caliper brakes available in spring, hydraulic, and mechanical apply models, suitable for limited dynamic or service braking and parking applications.
520 Series: Fixed caliper disc brakes with hydraulic apply and opposed pistons, designed for service braking. They offer various piston diameters for different clamping force capacities.
530 Series: Designed for parking brake applications, using belleville springs for application and hydraulic pressure for release. Not recommended for conventional master cylinder actuation.
Specifications and Recommendations: High-quality brake discs made from low to medium carbon steel are recommended. Detailed specifications include disc diameter, thickness, lining contact area, and pressure ratings. Torque formulas are provided for calculating brake torque.
Applications: MICO caliper disc brakes are used in industries like forestry, agriculture, heavy construction, mining, and airport support vehicles.
Technical Notes: Proper adjustment and burnishing of brakes are crucial for achieving maximum torque. Specifications may change, and users should consult MICO for the latest information.
520 Series Specifications: Disc diameters range from 9 to 36 inches, with continuous duty pressure from 1000 to 2000 PSI. Caliper materials include aluminum or ductile iron, with non-asbestos, lead-free lining material.
530 Series Specifications: Disc diameters range from 9 inches to unlimited, with continuous duty pressure from 1500 to 2000 PSI. Caliper material is ductile iron with zinc chromate yellow finish.
Key Features: Includes fixed and floating caliper designs, internally ported fluid passages, and lining retractor mechanisms. Torque formulas are provided for calculating brake torque.
Notes and Recommendations: Disc rubbing speed should not exceed 5000 ft/min. Maximum torque is achieved after proper adjustment and burnishing. Mounting bolts are not included.
Useful Formulas: Provides formulas for torque and energy requirements, considering factors like road conditions and vehicle inertia.
Kinetic Energy and Torque Calculations: Formulas for calculating kinetic energy and torque for rotating members are provided.
Conversion Factors: Extensive conversion tables for various units of measurement are included.
Grade and Sine Calculations: A table for calculating the sine of angles corresponding to different grades is provided.
Product Information: MICO offers a range of products including brakes, controls, cylinders, and valves.
