Product Overview

Twiflex’s wide range of industrial disc brake calipers includes spring applied (fail safe) brakes which can be released pneumatically, hydraulically, or electrically, as well as direct acting (active) brakes. Some commonly used Twiflex brake models include:

MU Series

Twiflex’s smallest disc brake calipers – intended for low torque, light stopping and holding applications. Suitable for use on disc thicknesses of 8mm and 12.7mm.  Minimum disc diameter is 150mm.

Model numbers: MU3, MUP, MUS2, MUS3, MUS4, MUH

MS Series

Similar to MU series, but capable of higher torque output.  Suitable for use on disc thickness of 12.7mm.  Minimum disc diameter is 250mm.

Model numbers: MSA, MSD, MSE, MSG, MSF, MSH, MSK, MSL

MR Series

Similar to MS series, but capable of even higher torque output. Suitable for use on disc thicknesses of 12.7mm and 25.4mm.  Minimum disc diameter is 250mm.

Model numbers: MR, MR2, MRA, MRB, MRD, MRE, MRG, MRH, MRW, MRK, MRL

MX Series

Similar to MU/MS/MR series, but capable of highest torque values. Suitable for use on disc thicknesses of 12.7mm, 25.4mm, 30mm and 40mm.  Minimum disc diameter is 300mm.

Model numbers: MX13, MX25, MX30, MX40, SMX, MXA, MXB, MXD, MXE, MXG, MXH, MXW, MXEA, MXS, MXSH, MXK, MXL

GMX Series

Similar to MX series but offers greater pad area. Suitable for use on disc thicknesses of 25.4mm, 30mm and 40mm.  Minimum disc diameter is 610mm.

Model numbers: GMX25, GMX30, GMX40, SGMX, GMXA, GMXB, GMXD, GMXE, GMXG, GMXH, GMXW, GMXEA, GMXS, GMXSH, GMR, GMRP, GMRH, GMRS, GMRSD, GMRSD, GMRSH

T2 Series

Pneumatically or hydraulically applied modular disc brake caliper with split caliper design. Modules can be mounted on each side of a central mounting plate of the same thickness as the brake disc or side-mounted with a spacer equal to the disc thickness between the two halves. Minimum disc thickness is 5mm and minimum disc diameter is 120mm.

T20 Series

Hydraulically applied modular disc brake caliper with side-mounted, split caliper design. Minimum disc thickness is 12.7mm and minimum disc diameter is 300mm.

T40 Series

Hydraulically applied modular disc brake caliper with side-mounted, split caliper design. Minimum disc thickness is 20mm and minimum disc diameter is 300mm.
