VCSD Disc Brake Caliper for Industrial & Mining
Product catalog summary
Description: The VCSD and VCSD-FL are spring-applied, hydraulically released disc brake calipers designed for harsh environments, suitable for heavy-duty dynamic and emergency stopping applications. They are available in standard and large pad versions. The brakes can be installed without hydraulic pressure, and the design includes sealed modules to prevent moisture and dirt ingress.
Features: The calipers weigh 80 kg for two modules and are compatible with a minimum disc thickness of 20 mm. They use mineral oil-based fluid with a maximum operating pressure of 160 bar. The brake pad area is 15700 mm2 per pad, with a swept path of 100 mm. The working temperature range is -20°C to 70°C, with an optional range down to -40°C. Pad wear allowance is 10 mm for VCSD and 7 mm for VCSD-FL. The minimum disc diameter is 600 mm.
Specifications: The VCSD-FL allows for up to 10 mm axial movement. Brake adjustment is done in situ with standard tools. The braking torque is calculated as the braking force multiplied by the effective disc radius.
Extreme Specifications: Options include stainless steel pistons and lock plates, stainless steel fittings and fasteners, EN plated bolts, and external surfaces painted to ISO 12944-5:2007 C5 environment specification.
Performance: The table provides braking forces at specified air gaps, with force increasing as the air gap decreases. Nominal braking force assumes fully bedded-in pads with a coefficient of friction of 0.4.

VCSD Disc Brake Caliper Description The VCSD and VCSD-FL (floating) calipers are spring applied, hydraulically released disc brakes which have been designed for use in harsh environments whilst offering superior performance in heavy duty dynamic and emergency stopping applications. Both standard pad and large pad versions are available. With the 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. The VCSD comprises two spring modules which...
