Brake Actuation
SINGLE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDERS
Caparo AP Braking supplies a wide range of single master cylinders. They can be fitted either horizontally or vertically with either fluid reservoir attached or fitted remotely.
These units are ideal for specialist and heavy-duty applications and can be used for clutch actuation.
- Ease of installation and service
- Low maintenance
- Vacuum bleed compatible
- Body materials vary from aluminium alloy for light weight applications to cast iron (CI) for extra strength.
TANDEM BRAKE MASTER CYLINDERS
A comprehensive range of tandem master cylinders is available for passenger cars and light commercial vehicles. They can be supplied as a complete unit or directly mounted onto a vacuum servo, where the interface is rigidly controlled to give minimum lost master cylinder travel, ensuring optimum system efficiency. The master cylinder range covers bore diameters of 17.8mm to 27mm to suit all variations of foundation brake configuration
Double Centre Valve (CV/CV) and American Standard Plus Centre Valve (AS/CV) Master Cylinders, which are compatible with ABS and Traction Control Systems are available.
Traditional AS/AS Tandem Master Cylinders are still manufactured for specialist OE applications where ABS is not used and also to service the heritage market with OE specification product.
Double centre valve master cylinders, which are compatible with ABS and traction control systems, are available.
Vertical master cylinders are also available for installations where under-bonnet space restrictions prevent the use of the standard horizontally mounted unit
- Low maintenance
- Controlled differential pressure
- Short cut off
- ABS and traction control compatible
- Vacuum bleed compatible
DIRECT ACTING VACUUM SERVOS
A comprehensive range of vacuum servos is available for passenger cars and light commercial vehicles. Caparo AP Braking supply units complete with tandem master cylinders. Computer simulation is utilised to ensure that optimum braking performance can be predicted for any given installation.
Caparo AP Braking servos give smooth take up and progressive performance up to the knee point.
- Low maintenance
- Fixed or variable boost ratio
- Low travel loss
- Application flexibility
REMOTE VACUUM SERVOS
Three basic sizes of remote servo are available, and each size is available with various bore sizes to suit a large range of vehicle applications.
The units fit within the hydraulic circuit to give boost. There are no outside levers, rods or links to clog with rust or dirt or to require adjustment
- No maintenance, sealed unit
- Light weight, compact design
- Low friction losses / high efficiency
