Off Highway Vehicle Brakes

SAE Hydraulic “Bolt-on” brakes

Spring-applied, hydraulically released multi-disc brakes with industry standard SAE A, B, C, and D input and output flanges enable these brakes to be "bolted on" to a wide variety of applications. When fully installed making them suitable for harsh working environments and are available in wet and dry versions with static torque ranging from 50 to 1600 Nm (500 to 14,000 lbs. in.). These brakes are frequently used as a parking brake on lift vehicles.

Electromagnetic “Bolt-on” brakes

Spring-applied, electrically released multi-disc static holding brakes, which uses the industry standard SAE mount and NEMA “C” face. Originally designed for battery driven electric vehicles but are used in a wide range of access platform lift applications, these brakes offer high torque in a compact design for electric applications.

Customized integrated hydraulic brakes

Spring-applied brake or brake components can be incorporated into equipment, gearbox, wheel hub, or similar applications. Because each brake solution is custom designed, Matrix can provide compact designs that minimize the overall length of the drive package while still providing the necessary torque for the application. Matrix offers complete brake assemblies or components to meet the particular application requirement.
