Military vehicles require brakes that are compact and have no exposed brake rod.
Wedge brakes
are the ideal choice for this application, as they can be mounted with two brake actuators per wheel end to increase braking power. Piston-type brakes, such as the 1216, 1616 and 1624 models, are also recommended for parking and vehicle retention situations. These brakes offer a higher output force per unit of volume than double diaphragm brakes and feature the patented “double screw release bolt” design, patented by MGM.This allows the MJW model to fit in tight areas where other spring brakes cannot due to the protrusion of the release bolt. When transporting maximum payloads over mountainous terrain or when it is important to release them quickly at low pressure, a piston-type wedge-shaped chamber is the best option. Wedge brakes are designed to provide maximum braking power in a small package, making them ideal for military vehicles. Piston-type brakes offer a higher output force per unit of volume than double diaphragm brakes and feature the patented “double screw release bolt” design, which allows them to fit in tight areas where other spring brakes cannot. Choosing the right type of brake for military vehicles is essential for ensuring their safety and performance.
It is important to consider the type of terrain they will be used on and the amount of payload they will be carrying. Wedge brakes are ideal for applications where maximum braking power is needed in a small package. Piston-type brakes offer a higher output force per unit of volume than double diaphragm brakes and feature the patented “double screw release bolt” design, which allows them to fit in tight areas where other spring brakes cannot. When selecting brakes for military vehicles, it is important to consider all factors such as terrain, payload, and size constraints. Wedge brakes are an excellent choice for applications requiring maximum braking power in a small package.
