2/RCM-10-DAC-SS-KIT --10" Disc Brake Set (For Use With 545 IDLER Hub) - 3,500 lbs., * 4-Bolt Brake Flange Required
Kodiak Trailer Brakes 2/RCM-10-DAC-SS-KIT
Trailer disc brake kit includes 2
assemblies with rust-resistant, Dacromet-plated rotors and mounting brackets,
and stainless calipers. Assemblies fit 3,500-lb axles and 14" and larger
wheels. 10" Rotor has 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern.
Features:
- Brake assemblies make it easy
to change from an idler axle to a disc brake axle
- Disc brakes deliver better
performance than drum brakes
- More consistent
stopping, even at highway speeds
- Dramatically shorter
stopping distance
- Maintenance costs are lower
than for drum brakes
- Fewer moving parts to
maintain, repair and replace
- Slip-on, cast iron,
over-the-hub rotors
- Dacromet coating
provides superior corrosion resistance for freshwater or saltwater use
- 400- to 600-Hour
salt-spray rating
- Fit over standard
idler hub and are held in place by wheel and wheel bolts
- Remove easily for
maintenance
- No need to replace
entire hub-and-rotor assembly if only hub or rotor becomes damaged
- Increase distance from
hub face to hub face by 1/2"
- Prevent heat-related
damage with vented design that effectively dissipates heat
- Stainless steel calipers are
self-adjusting for smooth, equal braking
- Stainless steel
construction does not flex like aluminum
- Absolute corrosion
protection - ideal for extended marine use
- Low-drag design
retracts piston farther than other calipers for a cooler-running brake
- Stainless steel piston
is 2-1/4" in diameter - 30 percent larger than other brands
- More braking torque
than the competition
- High-performance,
ceramic brake pads
- Stainless steel mounting
brackets provide strength and durability
- Side-support design
ensures that load is placed on bracket, not bolts
- Extra embossing for
additional thread contact ensures tight, secure mounting for caliper
guide bolts
- 4-Bolt brake flange
mounting configuration - weld-on flange sold separately
- Kit includes 2 full brake
assemblies
- 2 Dacromet-plated,
cast iron rotors
- 2 Stainless steel
calipers

Disc Brakes
More and more people are switching
their trailers over to disc brakes, and with good reason. Disc brakes deliver
consistent braking - even at highway speeds - unlike drum brakes, which often
show a substantial drop in braking torque at higher speeds. In addition, disc
brakes offer a substantially shorter stopping distance than drum brakes.
Disc brake calipers have only one
moving part, rather than the many found in drum brakes. This means that there
are fewer parts to maintain, fewer parts to get damaged and fewer parts to have
to repair or replace, thus reducing maintenance costs.
Over-the-Hub Rotor
Kodiak's slip-on, cast iron rotor
makes it easy to convert an idler axle to a disc brake axle. Simply place the
rotor over your hub. It is most often wheel bolt piloted for a loose fit and
then held in place by the wheel itself. With a separate rotor and hub, you can
easily repair or replace one element of your brake system without having to
junk the whole thing.
Calipers
Kodiak calipers are constructed of
stainless steel to prevent flexing and rust. Less flex means more braking
torque, resulting in smooth, even braking every time. The corrosion-resistant
stainless steel piston is 30 percent larger than standard pistons, ensuring
shorter stopping distance and increased torque. In addition, the unique
low-drag design of Kodiak's calipers allows the piston to retract farther than
in most standard models, giving you a cooler-running brake.
Mounting Brackets
Designed for axles with 4-bolt
brake flange configurations, the included mounting brackets are made of
heavy-duty, corrosion-resistant dacromate-plated steel that is embossed to
provide additional threading for guide bolts. The added thread strength ensures
a tighter, more secure connection between the caliper and bracket. Another
unique feature of Kodiak's brackets is the side-support angle, which guarantees
that the load is carried by the bracket, rather than the bolts.
