Caliper Disc Brakes

MICO Caliper Disc Brakes are extensively tested to assure that our customers are receiving a high quality product. MICO uses only high grade materials in the construction of caliper disc brakes. Computer technology is employed in the analysis and selection of component parts. The MICO Caliper Disc Brake line is divided into the following series: 515 Series are a floating caliper type and are available in spring apply, hydraulic apply or mechanical apply models. 520 Series are fixed caliper disc brakes, hydraulic apply with opposed piston. 530 Series are a floating caliper type and are available in spring apply or hydraulic apply models. The 515 Series caliper brakes can be used for limited dynamic or service braking as well as static or parking brake applications. The Spring Apply/Hydraulic Release designs use a stack of belleville springs to apply the brake and hydraulic pressure from a source such as a master cylinder to release the brake. The Mechanical Apply designs use a mechanical lever and cam system to apply and release the brake. 2 The 520 Series caliper brakes are used in service braking applications. The Hydraulic Apply Caliper Brakes use a modulated hydraulic pressure source, such as a master cylinder, to control brake torque. These brakes are available with various diameter actuation pistons. The larger the piston the greater the capacity for clamping force. The 530 Series Spring Apply/Hydraulic Release Caliper Brakes are used in parking brake applications. They use a stack of belleville springs to apply the brake and hydraulic pressure to release the brake. Designed to be either on-or-off, conventional master cylinder actuation is not recommended to hydraulically release the brake. For hydraulic release actuation, refer to the MICO Hydraulic Remote Actuators catalog (Form No. 84-460-001). The 530 Series Hydraulic Apply Caliper Brakes are designed for use in dynamic or service braking and use a modulated hydraulic pressure source, such as a master cylinder. Most types of MICO Caliper Disc Brakes are available with seals and rubber components for use with automotive brake fluids, mineral base hydraulic oil, or special fluids. Consult MICO, Incorporated for recommendations. All lining material used in the MICO Caliper Disc Brakes is non-asbestos and lead free.

How to use this Catalog

This catalog is designed to introduce you to a selection of MICO Caliper Disc Brakes that may best suit your application. Complete the Application Data Sheet (page 21) and mail or fax it to us. The Application Data Sheet (Form No. 80-950-022) is also online at www.mico.com. The MICO Applications Department will analyze your specifications and recommend a caliper brake most suitable to the requirements. Separate sections for each type of disc brake we manufacture are presented. Each section contains a description, specifications, mounting styles, torque formula, section drawing and exterior dimensional drawing. Torque curves and torque formulas in this catalog are based on static and dynamic lining coefficients of friction under properly adjusted, fully burnished, lining conditions and are theoretical in nature. Maximum torque will be achieved only after the brake has been properly burnished (Consult MICO, Incorporated for Technical Notice Form No. 81-950-016).

Recommended Disc Material

High quality brake discs should be used in conjunction with MICO Caliper Disc Brakes. Depending on strength and performance requirements, low to medium carbon steel is generally recommended. Fabrication procedures are as follows: 1. Flame cut or machined to required outside diameter with inside diameter machined to size. 2. Stress relieved after all machining operations. 3. Blanchard ground to a surface finish of 54 Ra to 72 Ra with a visible crosshatch pattern. 4. Surfaces to be parallel within 0.002 inch. 5. Surfaces to be flat within 0.005 inch.

DESCRIPTION
Floating caliper type brake, spring applied, hydraulic release. Spring apply brakes are independent of outside energy sources such as air, hydraulic or mechanical forces. The stored energy is provided by a series of belleville springs. Under normal conditions, the brake is installed independent of the service brake system. Ideal for industrial machines and mobile equipment applications. These brakes are designed to operate as parking and/or emergency brakes. If your application requires rapid cycling consult MICO, Incorporated for recommendations. Consult MICO Applications Department for other models. See page 5 for disc diameter-vs-brake torque ratio charts.

USEFUL FORMULAS
See page 17 for conversion factors.
NOTES:
1. To convert a known percent of grade into the sine of the angle of the grade, see table on page 18. 2. The formulas shown on this page estimate torque and energy requirements and may be helpful with brake selection, however, many factors affect brake performance and are not considered in the equations. Some of these factors are:

Torque Required per Brake

T NB Where: Bt = Torque required per brake (lbin) T = Total torque required (lbin) NB = Number of brakes Bt =

Torque Required if Gear Reduction is Used

T GR Where: Bt = Brake torque required (lbin) T = Total torque required (lbin) GR = Gear reduction ratio Bt =

road conditions tire performance engine drag vehicle inertia duty cycle disc speed lining wear environment

Kinetic Energy Required to Stop a Moving Vehicle

WV2 2g Where: KE = Kinetic energy (ftlb) W = Gross vehicle weight (lb) V = Vehicle speed (ft/sec) g = Acceleration due to gravity (32.2 ft/sec2) KE =

Contact MICO, Incorporated for a basic recommendation.

Vehicle Application
Torque Required to Hold a Vehicle on an Incline
T = WRsin q Where: T = Total torque required (lbin) W = Gross vehicle weight (lb) R = Rolling radius (in) sin q = Sine of the angle of the grade (See Note 1)

Stationary Equipment Application

Torque Required to Stop a Rotating Mass
