Industrial Disc Brakes
Complimenting our Industrial Brake Disc
Pads E. Fletcher (Chesterfield) Limited have introduced a range
of Industrial Brake Discs or Industrial Brake Rotors as they
are also known.
Industrial
Brake Discs generally come in three basic designs.
(a): "Flat" Discs; basically as described but may
have certain grooves machined for alignment to mating components,
be that hub or transmission flange.
(b): "Top Hat" or "Cotton Reel" Discs;
these are again as described in shape having a central cylindrical
body with a brake disc area on one end and a hub / flange mating
area on the other.
(c): "Shrouded" Discs: These are a flat type of
disc with a raised, (shrouded), central area, on this central
raised area would be the locating holes for fitment to the mating
component, these are commonly popular as Transmission Brake Discs.
Further to this all three of the above mentioned discs can
be described as "Solid" discs or "Vented"
discs. The vented discs having a thicker hollow pad mating area
with cooling fins moulded into them so as to improve air flow
& therefore cooling.
All discs are manufactured from "cast" materials
as these prove to offer better performance when used in conjunction
with Industrial type Friction Materials.
Industrial Brake Discs, (Industrial Brake Rotors), from E.
Fletcher (Chesterfield) Limited are currently available for fitment
to certain Volvo, Caterpillar, Moxy, Bell and Terex machines.
