All 5019 brake caliper models can be used in either hydraulic or pneumatic
applications, since its "O" ring and piston construction will not be
damaged by hydraulic fluid. The spring applied actuator is available with many
spring combinations, including adjustable springs, for various brake torques.
The standard brake lining supplied by Kobelt is asbestos free,
and was engineered to provide a coefficient of friction of approximately 0.45 to
0.55. The lining remains fairly stable up to 7500°F (400°C).
The brake shoe bearings are detachable from the) brake shoe
itself. This design allows for the installation of shims between the bearing and
the brake shoes. Installing shims between these two items will reduce the
clearance between the brake shoes. The brake caliper for this reason can be
adapted to various sizes of thickness. Maximum disc thickness however, is
3/4". The 5019 is available foot mount or side mount.
Important: Use only hydraulic fluid or air to apply this brake.
Standard seals are NOT compatible with brake fluid.
