Overview

The Brake System offered by Armour Master is designed to support the operational demands of armored and heavy-duty vehicles. Due to increased vehicle weight and altered load dynamics caused by armoring, standard braking components are often insufficient. Armour Master provides a complete range of reinforced brake system components to ensure controlled, reliable, and consistent braking performance.

The brake system offering focuses on component-level solutions, allowing upgrades, replacements, or system conversions based on vehicle requirements.

Brake System Components

Armour Master supplies the following brake system components for armored and heavy-duty applications:

Brake Pads

Brake Pads are engineered to handle increased friction demands caused by heavier armored vehicles. These components play a critical role in ensuring controlled deceleration and consistent braking response during operation.

Key role:

  • Provides friction required to slow or stop the vehicle

  • Designed to operate under higher braking loads

  • Suitable for armored vehicle applications

 

Brake Rotors

Brake Rotors are essential for heat dissipation and braking stability. In armored vehicles, rotors must withstand higher thermal stress due to increased mass and braking force requirements.

Key role:

  • Works in conjunction with brake pads for stopping power

  • Supports consistent braking under repeated use

  • Designed for heavy-duty braking environments

Calipers

Calipers apply pressure to brake pads against the rotor, enabling effective braking. Armour Master supplies calipers suitable for reinforced brake systems used in armored vehicles.

Key role:

  • Ensures proper clamping force during braking

  • Maintains braking control and balance

  • Compatible with heavy-duty brake configurations

Drum to Disc Conversion Kit

The Drum to Disc Conversion Kit allows vehicles originally equipped with drum brakes to be upgraded to disc brake systems. This conversion supports improved braking efficiency and control, particularly for armored vehicles.

Key role:

  • Upgrades braking system architecture

  • Enhances braking response and consistency

  • Suitable for armored vehicle conversions

 

Dual Diaphragm Brake Booster

The Dual Diaphragm Brake Booster increases braking force assistance, reducing driver effort while improving braking response. This component is critical in armored vehicles where higher braking force is required.

Key role:

  • Amplifies braking input from the driver

  • Improves braking efficiency under heavy loads

  • Supports safer vehicle operation

System Configuration Flexibility

Armour Master’s brake system components can be:

  • Supplied individually

  • Integrated as part of a broader braking upgrade

  • Used during armored vehicle conversions

  • Replaced as part of maintenance or retrofit programs

This modular approach ensures compatibility with different vehicle platforms and armoring requirements.

Application Scope

The brake system components are suitable for:

Vehicle TypeUsage
Armored VehiclesSecurity, defense, and VIP transport
Heavy-Duty VehiclesVehicles with increased load and braking demands

Design Focus

The brake system offering focuses on:

  • Handling increased vehicle mass

  • Maintaining braking consistency

  • Supporting controlled stopping performance

  • Enhancing overall vehicle safety

Each component contributes to maintaining braking reliability in demanding operational environments.
