Comprehensive Guide to the BRAKE, CALIPER DISC 109528 for TDS11SA Gearbox Motor Assembly
Introduction
The TDS11SA top drive drilling system, manufactured by Varco (now NOV), is one of the most widely used top drive systems in the oil and gas industry. With a rated load capacity of 500 tons and continuous torque output of 37,500 ft-lb at 125 rpm, this system delivers the power and reliability required for demanding drilling operations. At the heart of its braking system lies the BRAKE, CALIPER DISC 109528, a critical component that ensures safe and precise control.
Two hydraulic caliper disc brakes are mounted to the top end of each motor on the TDS11SA, serving to hold torque in the drill string and assist in positioning during directional work. This article provides a comprehensive overview of the 109528 brake caliper assembly and its replacement components, available through Evergrow under part number 164292.
Overview of the 109528 Brake Caliper Assembly
The 109528 ASSY CALIPER DISC BRAKE is specifically engineered for the TDS-11SA top drive system used in oil drilling rigs. This caliper features high-quality construction and a lightweight design(less than 10 kg), ensuring reliable performance in the demanding environments of oil and gas drilling industries.
Complete Component Breakdown
The 109528 brake caliper assembly consists of seven key components. Below is the complete parts list with both OEM and Evergrow part numbers for easy reference:

Component Details
1. Caliper, Disc Brake (109528 / 164292)
The main caliper body houses all braking components and provides the structural framework for the braking system. It must be inspected regularly for visible damage, corrosion, or leaks around the seals.
2. Friction Pads (109528-1 / 164292-1)
These are the consumable friction materials that create the necessary resistance against the brake disc (rotor) to slow down or stop the equipment. Two pads are required per caliper. Regular inspection of pad thickness is essential- pads below the minimum specification must be replaced immediately.
3. Seal Kit (109528-2 / 164292-2)
The seal kit contains all necessary seals to prevent brake fluid leakage and maintain hydraulic pressure within the caliper. Inspect seals for cracking, breakage, punctures, or aging.
4. Heavy Duty Spring (109528-3 / 164292-3)
Four heavy-duty springs are required per caliper. These springs ensure proper return action of the brake pads after braking pressure is released.
5. Screw, Return Spring (109528-4 / 164292-4)
Four return spring screws secure the heavy-duty springs in place, ensuring consistent spring tension and proper pad retraction.
6. Guide Pin (109528-5 / 164292-5)
Four guide pins allow the caliper to slide smoothly during engagement and release. If the caliper sticks on its guide pins, lubrication or replacement may be necessary.
7. Bleeder Valve (109528-6 / 164292-6)
The bleeder valve allows for the removal of air from the brake hydraulic system during maintenance and bleeding procedures.
Maintenance and Inspection Guidelines
Proper maintenance of the disc brake caliper is essential for safe and efficient drilling operations. The following inspection procedures are recommended:
Visual Inspection:
Check brake pad thickness- pads should be above the minimum thickness specification
Inspect the caliper for visible damage, corrosion, or leaks around seals
Examine the disc brake rotor surface for scoring, cracking, or warping
Caliper Function Check:
Verify that the caliper slides smoothly along its guide pins
Check piston movement- pistons should move in and out freely
