5021-A Fluid Applied Brake Caliper

The model 5021 brake caliper is very versatile because of its large shoe area and considerable clamping force. It is the main reason that it is used in virtually all industries where continuous breaking and stopping is required.

The patented balancing links ensure equal brake lining wear for both shoes and across the shoe itself.

Shims can be installed between the brake shoe and bearing to reduce the clearance between the brake lining. This permits the caliper to be used with various disc thicknesses.

The maximum disc thickness is two inches.

The actuator is equipped with two fluid supply ports. These ports are connected internally and in most cases, only one port will be connected to the pressure source. Varying the application pressure to the actuator causes an absolutely proportional change in the brake torque. It is for this reason that very sensitive braking control can be obtained. Maximum fluid supply is 100 PSI (6.9 bar )

Standard brake discs are available from 18 inches in diameter up to 50 inches in diameter.
