The Twiflex MR disc brake calipers are used with brake discs of 0.5" and 1". thick.They may be used with any of the Twiflex series of actuators. The range of pneumatically operated brakes use dry and filtered compressed air at pressures up to 105 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’clockpositions) in relation to the disc. If a caliper is mounted at an angle greater than 100 from the horizontal it should be fitted with an equalizing link.This applies also to calipers used on vertical shaft installations. Ranges of standard discs are available from Twiflex,Minimum disc diameter for theMR caliper is 10" and theMR2 is 12".
