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.
