In public works and mining machinery, depending on the type of drive, two braking systems are used:
Hydraulic Brake System: The fundamental principle of this system is that the brake fluid pressure is applied uniformly in a closed system. When the brake pedal is pressed, a piston in the master cylinder makes the brake fluid to flow through the steel lines, applying uniform pressure to the wheels. The brake fluid pressure causes the pistons in the wheel cylinders to be forced outward by pressing the pads against the discs or drums.
Air or Pneumatic Brake System: This system uses an engine driven compressor to fill the tanks with pressurized air. Pressing the brake pedal opens a valve which allows a certain amount of pressurized air to stop the brake chambers at each wheel. The harder the brake pedal is pressed, the more pressure is exerted on the brake chambers. There are three air braking systems: service brake, parking brake, and emergency brake.
We offers a wide range of spare parts for your braking system compatible with the main brands of machinery in the market such as Volvo, Caterpillar, Komatsu and Case.
We can provide virtually any part for a machine, no matter the brand or machine type
