Disc Brake PAN 17 Description of the Mechanical Sliding Caliper Disc Brake The „PAN“ Brake is a Floating Caliper Disc Brake, designed for installation on front and rear axles in trucks or buses as a Service, Emergency and Parking Brake. The brake is actuated mechanically via a Diaphragm or Spring Loaded Cylinder which is mounted directly to a cover on the brake caliper, resulting in a relatively short overall axial length and compact brake package.

No serviceable parts are inside the clamping unit. Only original and genuine WABCO Service Parts and approved brake pads are to be used. With newly installed brake pads avoid emergency stops and long braking cycles during the first 50 km to prevent excessive temperatures.
Disc Brake PAN 17 Checking Brake Function Caution: Do not use a power-driven socket! Keep hands and fingers out of the inside of the caliper to avoid injury! 2.2.1 Checking Air Gap: Work Sequences Figures • Loosen and remove hex head bolt 39 from hold down hoop 38.
