Kobelt 5026-S - Spring Applied Brake Caliper - Medium & Heavy Trucks, Emergency Braking, Accurate Brake Torque Control

The Kobelt 5026-S Spring Applied Brake Caliper is a reliable solution designed for medium and heavy trucks, offering a dual-function brake mechanism. The upper housing features a spring that forces the drive rod down, engaging the wedge and pressing the brake pedal. Air pressure is necessary to counteract the spring force and release the brake. In the absence of air pressure, the upper spring engages automatically to provide emergency braking. The lower part of the brake mechanism uses a diaphragm to press the brake pads in a proportional manner, with a light return spring ensuring the wedge is pushed upwards to release the brake. This design ensures precise control over the brake torque and is ideal for heavy-duty applications.

The wedge mechanism in the 5026-S features a combination of wedge and rollers that push the levers apart, applying consistent pressure on the brake disc. This mechanism ensures highly accurate brake torque control, allowing for smooth and efficient braking under varying conditions. With a maximum braking force of up to 60%, the system provides exceptional control and reliability. This spring-applied caliper is a perfect fit for vehicles that require both emergency and proportional braking capabilities for safety and efficiency.
