Adjusting Multi-Disc Brakes

 

Brief general information on adjusting multi-disc brakes

 

Multi-disc brakes, wet.

 

  • Wet multi-disc brakes are adjusted using a wedge-shape actuator that is operated by springs, air or hydraulics.
  • The wedge moves different distances, always on the return stroke. The method varies depending on the manufacturer.
  • The piston transfers force via a roller bearing to threaded pistons that rotate on the return stroke.
  • Multi-disc brakes with annular pistons provide a large annular area. These are generally used with working pressures as low as 30–40 bar.
  • External adjuster stop that can be moved.

 

Typical applications:

 

  • Large heavy vehicles
  • Dumper trucks
  • Mobile cranes
