Emergency Driveline Brake for Concrete Agitator

 

The Sealed Integrated Braking System (SIBS®) has been configured for mounting to the rear differential of a 24,000 kg concrete agitator truck. The brake is bolted to the input side of the rear differential carrier on a Meritor tandem drive rear axle. The torque generated by the brake is transmitted to the rear wheels via the differential and axle shafts.

The SIBS® brake operates as a spring applied hydraulic release emergency driveline brake only. The hydraulic system has been designed to modulate the application using a unique two-stage release of the hydraulic pressure, thus preventing shock loads damaging the driveline.

SIBS® is an enclosed single rotor high-speed disc brake. It provides greater reliability in a compact enclosed package.
