A caliper brake (10) includes a housing (12) formed of a first housing portion (16) and a second housing portion (18). Each of the first housing portion and second housing portion include a channel (104) extending therethrough. The channels (104) include pins (102) for receiving one or more shims (94) thereon. Brake (10) includes a first stator assembly (60) and a second stator assembly (64) that are separated by a first distance when no shims (94) are on the pins (102). The first stator assembly (60) and the second stator assembly (64) are separated by a second distance less than the first distance when one or more shims (94) are on the pins (102).
A caliper brake comprising one or more shims, a housing formed of a first housing portion and a second housing portion, each of said first housing portion and said second housing portion including a channel extending therethrough, each of said channels including pins for receiving said one or more shims thereon, each of said pins including a first end positioned in a respective one of said first housing portion and said second housing portion and a second end positioned in a respective one of said channels, further comprising a first stator assembly and a second stator assembly coupled by a pair of stator pins.
A caliper brake comprising a housing formed of a first housing portion and a second housing portion, each of said first housing portion and said second housing portion including a channel extending therethrough, each of said channels including pins for receiving one or more shims thereon, further comprising a first stator assembly having a first stator pad and a second stator assembly having a second stator pad, said first stator pad and said second stator pad being spaced a first distance, said first stator pad and said second stator pad being spaced a second distance that is less than said first distance when one or more shims are positioned on said pins, wherein one or more shims are positioned on said pins of at least one of said channels, said one or more shims including an elongated ear extending from a circular base, said elongated ear including holes for positioning said holes on said pins of said at least of one of said channels.
A caliper brake comprising one or more pins capable of receiving one or more shims, a first hydraulic channel providing hydraulic fluid behind a first end of a first piston, a second hydraulic channel providing hydraulic fluid behind a first end of a second piston, said first piston having a second end abutting a first stator assembly, said second piston having a second end abutting a second stator assembly, wherein said first stator assembly and said second stator assembly are separated by a first distance when no shims are on said pins and by a second distance less than said first distance when one or more shims are on said pins, said first stator assembly receiving a first end of a first stator pin and a first end of a second stator pin, said second stator assembly receiving a second end of said first stator pin and a second end of said second stator pin, said first stator pin having an end, said second stator pin having an end, each of said first stator pin and said second stator pin being held in position by a corresponding bolt and washer, each of said washers positionally overlapping the corresponding stator pin end.
