A4 & AA4 Series

Service Brakes

Description:
The Carlisle A4 and AA4 brakes are hydraulically applied, four-piston,
caliper disc brakes designed for a variety of dynamic braking
requirements. These brakes are typically mounted to a flange on the
vehicle's axle or mounting bracket for service brake applications.
Application:
Mobile construction and mining equipment
Agricultural machines
Logging industry vehicles
Industrial equipment
Formulas:
Torque (lb-in) = K x Pressure (psi) x Disc Friction Radius (in)
Torque (N-m) = K x Pressure (bars) x Disc Friction Radius (mm)
Friction Radius (in) = Disc Diameter (in)/2 - 1.5 in
Friction Radius (mm) = Disc Diameter (mm)/2 - 38.1 mm
