GMR Caliper Disc Brakes
The Twiflex GMR and GMR40 series of disc brake calipers is suitable for use with discs of 25.4mm, and 40mm thick respectively. Minimum disc diameter is 610mm.
Normally one or two calipers are used per disc, but the number may be increased depending on disc size. The brakes may be positioned at any angle around the periphery of the disc, but should ideally be mounted horizontally (i.e. at the 3 o’clock or 9 o’clock position). If the caliper mounting angle is greater than 10° from the horizontal, or on vertical shaft applications, it should be fitted with an inclined mounting kit. |
