Caliper
Paddock Gears supplies dependable caliper solutions designed for industrial braking applications where controlled stopping, holding, and machinery safety are essential.
An industrial brake caliper works by applying braking force to a disc, helping to slow, stop, or hold rotating machinery and equipment securely during operation. Our range includes manual and pneumatic brake callipers, as well as specialised configurations designed for different actuation, mounting, and operational requirements.
Depending on the application, a calliper may be spring activated, pneumatically released, electromagnetically released, or manually adjusted to accommodate friction block wear, providing options for a variety of industrial braking systems.
When selecting the correct caliper, important considerations include the required braking force, brake disc diameter and thickness, mounting arrangement, actuation method, operating environment, and available installation space. Correct selection and installation can help provide consistent braking performance, reduce unnecessary component wear and support safer, more reliable machinery operation. Paddock Gears assists customers in identifying a suitable caliper for new equipment, machinery upgrades, maintenance requirements and replacement projects, backed by knowledgeable support and a broad range of industrial engineering components.
