Disc Brake Apparatus | ProDynami – 1212
The Disc Brake Apparatus ProDynami – 1212 mounts brake discs into a sturdy frame for vertical wall or stand mounting. This Disc Brake Apparatus uses a load hanger, calibrated weights, and a moveable lever to assess braking force, torque, and normal force. It supports testing of brake pads in steel, brass, nylon, and brake material across 3 radial positions. A full weight set and instruction manual are included.

Product Overview
Brake discs are mounted into a sturdy frame which needs to be mounted vertically either on wall or on stand. A single shaft runs through the brake disc and the wall bracket supports. A cord pulley mounts to the shaft onto which is mounted a cord terminating in a load hanger. A lever is mounted on the upper side of the brake disc, which is moveable on the length of the shaft and contains brake pads. The brake pads are made of different friction materials.
Through the load hanger and calibrated weights, the leverage load is applied to the brake disc, and the parameters of braking force, braking torque, and normal force can be assessed on this Disc Brake Apparatus.
All load hangers and calibrated weights are supplied with the apparatus. Different brake pad materials can be tested as well as their radial position on the brake disc. A comprehensive instruction manual giving full details on apparatus assembly and operation as well as example results is provided. All necessary assembly and operational tools are provided.

Construction and Design
The Disc Brake Apparatus ProDynami – 1212 mounts brake discs into a sturdy frame, designed for vertical mounting on a wall or stand. A single shaft runs through the brake disc, supported by the wall bracket. A cord pulley mounts to the shaft, with a cord terminating in a load hanger. A lever mounted on the upper side of the brake disc is moveable along the length of the shaft and contains the brake pads. Brake pads are supplied in steel, brass, nylon, and brake material, one each, and can be tested at 3 different positions with 20mm intervals between them. Two load hangers, rated 0.5N each, and a set of slotted weights are supplied with the apparatus.
Scope of Delivery
- 1 experimental unit
- 1 instruction manual
- 2 sets of weights
- 1 thread
