Caterpillar forcedoil-cooled, multiple disc brakes arecontinuously cooled for exceptional,fade-resistant braking and retarding.The optional ARC and TCS utilize theoil-cooled rear brakes to enhance truckperformance and increase productivity.Oil Cooled Disc Brakes. Are designedand built for reliable, adjustment-freeoperation providing superiorperformance and service life incomparison to shoe-type and dry-discsystems.Oil Film. An oil film prevents directcontact between the discs. Absorbingthe braking forces by shearing oil andcarrying heat away, this design extendsbrake life.Secondary Braking. Spring applied,hydraulically released, oil-cooled discbrakes are located on the rear axle.The front brakes will activate as partof the secondary system, even ifswitched out of service.Parking Brakes. Spring applied,hydraulically released parking brakesuse wet disc brakes in service system.A toggle switch activates theparking brakes.Pistons. A Caterpillar patented, twopistondesign combines the service,secondary and parking brakes, alongwith retarding functions.The primary piston hydraulicallyactuates both service and retardingfunctions. The secondary piston isspring-applied and held in thedisengaged position by hydraulicpressure. If hydraulic system pressuredrops below a certain level, the springappliedsecondary piston automaticallyapplies the brakes.8
