Disc brake for steered hub drive - has adjustable mounting flanges to align brake

摘要

The brake for the steered axle of a hub reduction drive has the brake callipers secured on special flanges (76,78) which are bolted to the outside faces of the reduction gear housing. The flanges are adjustable to align the callipers on the disc (50), with the disc mounted on the output shaft. The flanges are secured by three bolts each (92) with one of each set of three bolts clamped into a slot on the flange. The other fitting holes are elliptical. The flange is reached by a conventional spanner and allows alignment of the brake without any special tools.
