We understand what a brake has to endure inside a mine. We universally recommend sealed, multi-disc wet brakes. This application requires it.
Ausco leads the market with innovative products on dozers, mini-dumpers, backhoe loaders, telehandlers, trenchers, pavers, graders, etc.
Ausco's 60 years of experience in agricultural braking make it the leader in this industry. Ausco developed and patented the ball ramp for farm tractors in 1946.
Our experience ranges from the largest feller bunchers and tree trimmers to the smallest stump grinders.
Ausco was the first to apply wet brake technology to these rough-and-tumble little vehicles. The resulting product was fade-proof and virtually maintenance-free.
Recently, Ausco introduced its new line of EZ Torque™ ball ramp mechanical calipers. This design is simplicity itself.
Ausco has long been a leader in braking for the ever-changing needs of this market.
Using our clean-sheet engineering philosophy, we'll create and supply a complete package that meets your specific needs for performance and reliability.
It is not enough to design and develop the right product for the customer. Without world class manufacturing, Ausco would not be the market leader.

Every brake, every caliper, every product that leaves out shipping docks comes with a promise.
ProductsMulti-Disc
Ausco invented the spring applied-hydraulically released multi-disc brake in the early 1970s. Today, Ausco remains the leader in spring applied-hydraulically released brakes. Ausco's catalog product offerings include all of the common SAE mounts. Most of our brakes are offered in both wet and dry configurations. Variations on shaft and spline sizes are also a common option. In addition, Ausco offers a number of specialty multi-disc brakes for articulated vehicles, mining shuttle cars, etc. Mechanical Calipers
Ausco has raised the standard for mechanical calipers with its new EZTorque ball ramp caliper design. This brake produces the highest torque of any caliper in its class. This means more holding power with less user input force. In addition, Ausco makes a wide variety of other mechanical caliper brakes for both service and parking applications. Hydraulic Calipers
Ausco has done a great deal of development in hydraulic calipers over the last several years. We have developed new calipers for everything from sprayers and airport tow tractors to utility vehicles, with many more new designs on the way. Ausco continues to innovate in this area with features such as self-retracting seals, which ensure caliper piston retraction and long lining life, and modular calipers, which allow the caliper to be used with either a fixed or a floating mount. Ball Ramp
Ausco invented and patented ball ramp brake technology in 1946. The original brake was designed before the era of power-assist braking as a solution to the need for increased braking performance. The design was standard on many agricultural vehicles throughout the 1950s and 60s. |
