| A wide range of high torque caliper disc brakes are available. If you do not wish to scroll thru this entire page, then select the relevant link below to go directly to the section of your choice: |
| Standard Caliper Disc Brakes are available in hydraulic, pnuematic, spring and manually applied models, incorporating 1 or 2 actuators, and in foot or side-mounted configurations. A free-floating, self-centering design, combined with a range of sensor and control options, make Johnson caliper disc brakes ideal for almost any high-torque stopping, holding or tensioning application. |
| Johnson Toggle Lever Caliper Disc Brakes are similar to standard caliper brakes, but incorporate a unique toggle link which compensates for changes in spring force. This feature results in constant clamping force throughout the brakes operating range, regardless of lining wear. |
| MB & FB MOTOR BRAKES are available with air, hydraulic or spring actuators, and can be mounted either directly on a standard C face electric motor, or on a standard four-bolt mill-motor base. Because of short spring strokes, adjustment is seldom required. |
| DS Series, Direct Acting Spring Brakes are fully-floating, direct acting spring applied, hydraulic released brakes. They are used in locations world-wide, including several US naval shipyards. The DS brake has no mechanical linkages and is particularly well suited for high-torque requirements such as winch drum hoists which require fast, fail-safe actuation. DS brakes are very compact and easy to maintain, and are available in single, double or triple piston models, in either one-sided or opposing-piston configurations. |
| TL Series, Toggle Lever Caliper Disc Brakes are the largest known spring applied, hydraulic released caliper disc brakes in the world. Features include a stackable design allowing 1 to 4 calipers to be mounted in a common frame. Spring force compensation by toggle mechanism results in constant braking torque, regardless of lining wear. |
| All Johnson brakes can be ordered with a variety of options including special alloys, coatings, linings and custom mounting configurations. |
