Minimum disc diameter is 250mm. Normally one or two calipers are used per disc, mounted horizontally (i.e. at the 3 o’clock or 9 o’clock position) to prevent rubbing of one brake pad due to self-weight of the thruster. A range of brake discs is available from Twiflex (see Disc and Hub Assemblies). For pneumatic operation use dry, filtered and non-lubricated compressed air. Pneumatic brakes require a control valve, operated either manually or by pneumatic or electrical signal. The ratings shown on the graphs are based on fully bedded in and conditioned brake pads with a nominal friction coefficient μ = 0.4. Twiflex disc brakes must be used with Twiflex asbestos free brake pads. Effective disc radius = actual radius (m) – 0.03m. shop Literature Twiflex Product Line Card Twiflex Product Line Card (A4) DS1508 - MSL Disc Brake Caliper DS1500 - MS Disc Brake Caliper DS1507 - MSK Disc Brake Caliper - Spring Applied, Pneumatically Released P-1648-TF - Industrial Disc Brakes Catalog\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Twiflex MS series of disc brake calipers is suitable for use with a disc thickness of 12.7mm.
