MGM Brakes Heavy Duty Wedge Brake Chamber, Size 16, 1.75 in Stroke, 1 3/4-12 UN-2A Thread, 3/8-18 NPTF Inlet Port

The US Military has relied heavily on MGM wedge brakes for their MRAP and MATV vehicles. They are desirable for this application because there is no exposed brake linkage. Two brake actuators can be mounted per wheel end to meet the high force outputs needed to stop today’s up-armored vehicles. We offer type 9, 12 & 16 service chambers in vented and watertight snorkeled versions to meet military fording requirements. Aluminum pressure caps are available for the type 9 and type 12 service chambers. These pressure caps reduce vehicle weight by about ½ lb per actuator vs. a steel cap. Wedge brakes come in several different tube lengths. They also have two rod styles, Meritor (with a red guide) and Bendix. Brakes can be custom configured for OEMs.
