Note: Spring fatigue life is a function of the caliper rating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Twiflex VS disc brake caliper is comprised of two modules secured between U-shaped top and bottom mounting plates by tie rods.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTypically one or two calipers are used per disc, but the number may be increased depending on disc size. The brakes may be positioned at any angle around the periphery, but ideally mounted horizontally (at the 3 o’clock or 9 o’clock positions).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMinimum disc diameter is 1000mm with no maximum except for practical limitations.
