VBS Disc Brake Caliper for Mining & Conveyor Applications
Product catalog summary
Overview
The VBS Disc Brake Caliper is designed for mining and conveyor applications, featuring a spring-applied, hydraulically retracted mechanism. It consists of two modules mounted on either side of a central plate, which matches the thickness of the brake disc. The design ensures protection against moisture and dirt, and allows for safe pad removal and installation without hydraulic pressure.
Specifications
Features
Performance
Braking forces increase with reduced air gap settings. Nominal braking force is based on fully bedded pads with a coefficient of friction of μ = 0.4.

VBS Disc Brake Caliper The VBS caliper is a spring applied, hydraulically retracted disc brake caliper consisting of two halves, or modules that are mounted each side of a central mounting plate equal in thickness to the brake disc. The spring module is sealed against moisture and dirt ingress at either end of the brake. With the VBS brake in the 'parked off' position, disc spring load and hydraulic pressure are zero, allowing pads to be removed in safety. This feature also permits brake installation without the need for hydraulic pressure. Brake adjustment is carried out in situ by removing...
