Kobelt 5026-A - Fluid Applied Brake Caliper, Air Applied, 4", 7", 30", 61", Stainless Steel, Bronze

Kobelt 5026-A - Fluid Applied Brake Caliper, Air Applied, 4", 7", 30", 61", Stainless Steel, Bronze

The Kobelt 5026-A Fluid Applied Brake Caliper is designed to provide a durable and efficient braking solution for demanding industrial and marine applications. Built primarily from bronze and stainless steel, this air-applied caliper offers exceptional performance even in the harshest and most corrosive environments. It is ideal for service braking applications such as drawworks and workboats, offering superior reliability and longevity. This brake caliper is specifically matched with Kobelt’s 4″ x 7″ ventilated discs, ensuring optimal heat dissipation and performance. With a minimum disc diameter of 30″ and a maximum of 61″, the 5026-A can handle a variety of large-scale applications.

• Air-applied design for precise control and consistent braking force
• Constructed from durable bronze and stainless steel materials for long-lasting performance
• Compatible with Kobelt’s 4″ (102 mm) x 7″ (178 mm) ventilated discs
• Supports a wide range of disc diameters, from 30″ (762 mm) to 61″ (1.549 m)
• Easy maintenance with replaceable shoes and pads
• Asbestos-free construction for safety and compliance with modern standards
• Available in air, hydraulic, spring-applied configurations with air or hydraulic release actuators
• Designed for demanding environments such as workboats, drawworks, and heavy industrial machinery

For installation, the foundation plate must be able to withstand the maximum braking forces and be designed to ISO tolerance grade IT8. The mounting bolts should be inserted from underneath, and the rotating element should feature bearings strong enough to support the disc’s weight. The caliper ensures full extension of the brake actuators and the ability for easy pad wear adjustment. Adequately sized piping is essential for fast response times in all weather conditions.
