VCS-FL
A version of this brake, known as the VCS-FL, is available for use where space is limited and when the brake disc has excessive lateral movement. Only one brake module is used with a reactive pad plate.
The Twiflex VKCS-FL disc brake caliper comprises a single spring module forming the 'active' side of this floating unit and is available for use where space is limited or to accommodate axial disc float of ±6mm.
Braking force ratings are achieved through a combination of shim number and air gap setting. Spring fatigue life is a function of the caliper rating. The ratings shown in the table are based on fully bedded in and conditioned brake pads with a nominal friction coefficient µ = 0.4. Twiflex disc brakes must be used with Twiflex asbestos free brake pads.
Effective disc radius = actual radius (m) - 0.064m.
- Custom finishes and protection to suit the installed environment
- Protects against ascending overspeed and unintended movement
- Ensures stoppage in a smooth and safe manner when experiencing power or other system failure
- Braking force from 14 kN to 62 kN
- Highly modular-greater braking torques achievable with use of multiple brakes
- Low pad pressures-Pad area = 296.8 cm2 (2 pads)
- Hydraulic power supply units also available
