About Hydraulic Mechanical Sliding Caliper Brakes
Knott Vortex offers hydraulic mechanical sliding caliper brakes designed to provide both service braking and integrated parking brake functionality in one compact system. These brakes are suitable for demanding applications that require dependable braking force, secure vehicle holding, and reliable performance in mobile and heavy-duty operating conditions.
Overview
Hydraulic Mechanical Sliding Caliper Brake
Hydraulic mechanical sliding caliper brakes offer a service brake function as well as an integrated parking brake function. The actuating force is applied on one side either hydraulically through the service brake piston or mechanically through the brake lever. The braking force on the opposite side is generated by the reaction force of the sliding caliper. According to KNOTT, an important advantage of this brake type is the reinforced components of the parking brake unit, which make it possible to hold a vehicle even on extreme gradients. These brakes are mainly used in construction machinery and special vehicles.
