Cat® Wet Disk Brakes | How Oil Cooled Hydraulic Brakes Work

[@yamipizza8357]

So it's essentially a reverse clutch?

[@Xcelplus]

Presumably the less friction on the plates themselves the better the system will work? :-)

[@YesIAmNagi]

what are the materials used in the manufacturing of this braking system?

[@HSA677]

Is it possible to use fire resistant hydraulic Fluids such as pantoflux for wet brake systems or would a seperate oil tank and pump be needed for the braking system if fire resistant fluids were used elsewhere

[@mann_idonotreadreplies]

No need.

[@PJ3721]

Cool system. How often would the fluid need to be changed and the clutches replaced?

[@gremlin7599]

doesn't it share fluid with the differential? You just use the recommended fluid with the added modifier? My cousin has a 580E case and I believe you could get it with or without the wet brake and depending on if you have that differential that you use a different fluid

[@clownpuncher7070]

So, if the brake piston ever leaked, you would over fill the differential with oil and it would begin to leak out the breather?

[@andiswathwala3268]

Yes

[@guacamoleweiner69]

Yes you will lose almost all of the hydraulic fluid and its a mess. Would rather have air drum brakes like older models

[@Praveenkumar-eh4fo]

I have a doubt sir can you please solve it

[@ArcolaBridge]

does the slack adjuster physically touch the discs? or does it force oil against them?

[@Don-rz9cg]

Yes it actually pushes against the plates - specifically the externally splined spacer plates which have no friction material on them.

[@moatlhodisechudi3104]

Slack adjuster bro as the name say

[@mann_idonotreadreplies]

@moat cool story bro.

[@phalanx3803]

do they sell these for Land Cruisers

[@mann_idonotreadreplies]

Land cruisers are garbage.

[@gavin4981]

You

[@Berounes]

They are both hydraulic oil per the video. I wouldn't see any damage mixing hydraulic oil with hydraulic oil

[@dan_2846]

Not sure about this particular setup, but i've had the same issue you mention on Spicer diffs before. Basically a failure of the brake piston seals will then allow leakage of hydraulic oil into the rest of the diff

[@MwelwaHomard-fw2er]

How does the differential work on the dup truck

[@Dankyjrthethird]

…lol Ya that can happen. Doesn’t cause too much damage
