The brake housing ( 12 ) comprises a first portion ( 14 ), a second portion ( 16 ), and a demountably coupled cylinder block ( 18 ). The first and second portions ( 14, 16 ) comprise respective openings ( 40, 68 ) through which a rotating component passes. The portions ( 14 ) and ( 16 ) are coupled together to define an internal space about a portion of the rotating body. One or more cylinder blocks ( 18 ) are formed separately of the first and second portions ( 14, 16 ) and directly demountably coupled to the first or second portions. Each cylinder block ( 18 ) is provided with a first surface ( 28 ) that faces the portion ( 14, 16 ) to which the cylinder block is coupled. Each block ( 18 ) is also provided with one or more cavities ( 20 ) that open onto an opposite surface ( 22 ) of the cylinder blocks ( 18 ) for receiving respective pistons ( 24 ). The blocks ( 18 ) can be fixed at any location inside the housing ( 12 ) to meet the requirements of the associated brake assembly at hand. |
