The Twiflex GMR & GMR40 disc brake calipers are used with brake discs of 1" and 1 1/2" thick, respectively. They may be used with a number of the Twiflex series of actuators. The range of pneumatically operated brakes use dry and filtered compressed air at pressures up to 100 psi. Pneumatic brakes require a control valve, which may be operated either manually or by pneumatic or electrical signal. Normally one or two brakes will be used per disc, but the number may be increased, depending on disc size. The brake units can be positioned at any angle around the periphery of the disc, but ideally they should be mounted horizontally (in 3 or 9 o’clock positions) in relation to the disc. If a caliper is mounted on an inclined surface it should be fitted with an inclined mounting kit.This applies also to calipers used on vertical shaft installations. A range of standard discs is available from Twiflex. Minimum disc diameter for the GMRcaliper is 24".
