MWM Freni Frizioni S.r.l. is pleased to introduce the new and expanded range of caliper brakes with patented innovative technical solutions for every requirement.
The extended range of MWM Caliper Brakes is now composed by six different ways of control Hand operated
- With new handle design Pneumatically applied spring released
- for workingSpring applied pneumatically released
- for safety use Duo Caliper Brakes
- for both working and safety use Hydraulically applied spring released
- for working Caliper Brakes spring applied hydraulically released
- for safety use All these options offer a wide choice of braking torque, dimension, mode of assembly and disc brake thickness. The revolutionary self
- aligning system with orthogonal sliding, patented by MWM, introduces several improvements.
The two lever arms are hinged on two steel pads that let the caliper move perpendicularly to the disk.
This orthogonal freedom of movement allows the caliper to be perfectly aligned to the disk ensuring a constant and well balanced braking on both friction pads. In this way, the thruster is supported by the arm control lever that can move only orthogonally. The weight of the thruster does not burden on the friction pads, but on the fixing structure.
All new thrusters of the innovative range of MWM caliper brakes are made of aluminium alloy. The old seal diaphragm has been replaced by a more modern and compact rubber seal for reciprocating motions (UM). This design choice allows to obtain less bulky thruster but more rugged and more reliable, maintaining the same power.
In the caliper brakes series PPA and PPB, the patented modular system with central support combines high performance and small size with the possibility to simply reconfigure the caliper brake.
It is sufficient to replace the central body to vary the thickness of the brake disk, or replace the thruster if some in different employment conditions, without replacing the entire caliper brake.
The new patented system with double lever and central support allows to obtain over than 25 different configurations using a single caliper body.
