Kobelt 5040-A - Air Applied Disc Brake Caliper - Pneumatically Operated, Adjustable Torque, Dual Diaphragm System, High-Performance, Durable Design

Kobelt 5040-A - Air Applied Disc Brake Caliper - Pneumatically Operated, Adjustable Torque, Dual Diaphragm System, High-Performance, Durable Design

The Kobelt 5040-A Air Applied Disc Brake Caliper is a high-performance braking solution designed for demanding industrial applications. This pneumatically operated caliper requires only an air supply with a pressure regulator, which allows for easy adjustment of torque and stopping characteristics to suit specific needs. The caliper uses a dual diaphragm system in the air-on actuators, which ensures an equal force is applied to each brake shoe when air pressure is introduced. The caliper also features a spring-return mechanism, which automatically releases the brake when air pressure is turned off. This system ensures reliable and precise braking, offering robust performance in various environments.

Designed for heavy-duty applications, the 5040-A caliper delivers a total normal force of 52,560 lbf (233.8 kN) and a large total lining area of 536 in² (3458 cm²), making it suitable for high-torque applications. With a maximum air pressure of 100 psi (670 kPa), it offers powerful and consistent braking performance. The caliper is compatible with Kobelt's 4" (102 mm) ventilated discs, and it is available in both air applied and mechanically applied models. The caliper features a balancing link to ensure equal wear on both brake linings, and it is ideal for use in various heavy-duty industrial applications, including high-speed operations with a maximum RPM of 1300.
