Brake Intensifier Brochure

Product catalog summary
Overview: The document describes the Tolomatic Intensifier, model 1770-0002, designed for operating caliper disc brakes. It highlights the intensifier's ability to achieve high torque without the need for high-pressure hydraulic systems, thus reducing the number of calipers required.
Specifications: The intensifier operates at a 10:1 ratio of output pressure (hydraulic fluid) to input pressure (air) with a displacement of 0.44 cubic inches. The low-pressure cylinder is made from hard-coated aluminum tubing, and the high-pressure cylinder is made of aluminum with an O-ring piston seal compatible with most fluids.
Design Features: The intensifier includes a spring return mechanism that retracts the piston and draws in oil when air pressure is reduced. The spring chamber is vented to prevent back pressure, and a threaded port is available for filling or connecting a pressure gauge. External bleeding and filling are facilitated.
Installation and Use: The intensifier is intended for use with non-retractable Tolomatic calipers up to the 220 Series. It should be mounted above the caliper, and the bleed valve at the highest point on the caliper should be opened during installation. The reservoir should be filled with oil until one-half to two-thirds full, and the intensifier should be operated two or three times to ensure no air is present.
Limitations: The intensifier is not suitable for use with spring-applied or retractable type calipers and should not be used on calipers larger than the 220 Series. The maximum inlet air pressure is 100 PSIG.
Components: The intensifier kit includes a reservoir, check valve, pipe nipple, and the intensifier itself. Different seal materials are available, including Buna-N, EPR, and Viton®.
Additional Information: The document includes contact information for Tolomatic and notes that the information provided is subject to change without notice.

Brake Intensifier Brochure-1

Intensifier For Use With Non-Retractable Tolomatic Calipers Up to 220 Series Ideal for Operating Caliper Disc Brakes The higher output pressure makes it possible to obtain the brake’s high torque handling capabilities without high pressure hydraulic systems. By operating at these higher pressures, the number of calipers can be reduced. The intensifier is small, simple and inexpensive, yet operates at a 10:1 ratio of output pressure (hydraulic fluid) to input pressure (air). The displacement is 0.44 cubic inches. The low pressure cylinder is made from hard-coated aluminum tubing for high strength and exceptionally low friction characteristics. The low pressure piston seal is of conventional U-cup design for reliable operation. The high pressure cylinder is made of aluminum. The high pressure piston uses an O-Ring of various compounds to be compatible with most fluids, to reduce friction and increase life to millions of cycles. When air pressure is reduced or removed, a spring return in the booster allows the piston to retract and draw in oil from the reservoir. The spring chamber is vented to eliminate back pressure and return air is filtered to eliminate entrapment of dirt or other foreign particles. A threaded port is provided for filling or connecting a pressure gauge. Bleeding and filling are external.
