Clutch & Brake Accessories

Quick Release Valves

Airflex quick release valves (QRV) are three-way valves that allow air to exhaust faster out of your brake or clutch. This can allow for faster cyclic rates and reduce overlap between clutches and brakes. Optional muffler attachments reduce the exhaust noise.

Rotorseals

Rotorseals from Airflex allow fluids to be transferred from a stationary supply to a rotating shaft. The fluids may include air or hydraulic fluid to control clutches and brakes, lubrication, or cooling oil. Rotorseals are available with single, dual, and triple passages to suit your needs.

Sure-Grip Bushings

TB Wood’s Sure-Grip quick detachable (QD) bushings are easy to install and remove. The tapered design provides a mechanical interference fit on the shaft. Sure-Grip bushings have more clamping force than competitive bushings due to their more gradual taper.

Torque range: 1,750 to 625,000 lb-in (197 to 70,615 Nm)
Typical applications: Sheaves, pulleys, sprockets, gears, couplings

Taper-Lock Bushings

TB Wood’s Taper-Lock bushings provide a mechanical interference fit on the shaft. Their design keeps the hub smaller, allowing closer mounting to bearings and other equipment.

Torque range: 1,200 to 416,000 lb-in (135 to 47,000 Nm)
Typical applications: Sheaves, pulleys, sprockets, gears, couplings
