The ratings shown on the above graph are based on fully bedded and conditioned brake pads with nominal frictioncoefficient μ= 0.4.
For bedding-in and conditioning procedures see Publication M1060.

Braking Force is defined as the Tangential Force acting on the brake disc at the Effective Disc Radius.
Braking Torque (Nm) = Braking Force (N) x Effective Disc Radius (m)where Effective Disc Radius = Actual Disc Radius -0.02.

Twiflex Disc Brakes must be used with Twiflex asbestos free brake pads.The use of any other brake pads will invalidate the warranty.
Twiflex Limited reserves the right to modify or change the design without prior notice.

This range of pneumatically operated brakes uses dry and filtered compressed air at pressures up to 7 bar
Pneumatic brakes require a control valve which may be operated either manually, or by pneumatic or electrical signal
Should it become necessary to replace a diaphragm, ensure air supply is disconnected, remove the M5 fixing screws
and the rear cap of the thruster. Remove the worn diaphragm; clean-up the contactingsurfaces and re-assemble with the
new diaphragm and fixing screws in position.

1. Offer thruster to caliper makinging sure that both lock nuts are removed before placing push rod through caliper arm
2. Fit Packing washer and spacer (see fig 1 and 2 below
3. Fit lock nuts over the push rod
4. Tighten one lock nut to 50-60 Nm then tighten the second nut against the first
