Corrosion For Offshore Apps
Twiflex MCB Series caliper brakes are designed with corrosion protection specifically for offshore applications.



The new MCB Series caliper brakes from Twiflex (Quincy, MA) are designed with special corrosion protection to withstand the harsh marine environment of offshore platforms where they are ideal for both static holding and emergency stopping of AC and DC draw works and for rugged duty on platform cranes and hoists. Features include:

  • Availability in 6 models.
  • A brake force range from 30 to 200 kN.
  • Supplied either as a positive direct-acting brake or a spring-applied hydraulic-released version.
  • A caliper body with a choice of actuators fitted between the arms.
  • Adjusted to fit a disc up to 36mm (1.42 in.) thickness and 1,100mm (43.3 in.) minimum diameter.
