Danfoss Airflex DBA disc brakes are spring applied and air or hydraulically released. The brake’s large friction area allows it to absorb and dissipate high energy loads. Lining wear adjustments aren’t required for single disc units, and dual disc units require only one wear […]

Brunel Corporation’s Type JB torque limiters provide instant release at the preset torque. Once the overload releases the clutch, the hub travels one revolution before the clutch automatically re-engages. This makes JB torque limiters perfect for applications where restart must occur in the correct […]

Airflex water-cooled brakes (WCB & WCB2) are disc type, externally cooled units. These brakes can dissipate a large amount of heat and are available in a variety of models and sizes. Both spring-applied and air-applied options are available to suit your application. Torque range: […]

Airflex’s Torque Limiting Coupling (TLC) is designed specifically to protect your grinding mill’s driveline from overloads. Slip detection control monitors system and automatically disengages the TLC if necessary. Unlike conventional torque limiting systems, the TLC is reset instantaneously, reducing equipment downtime. Slip torque range: […]

Airflex model CS and CSA brakes are spring set, air released brakes. This fact combined with their responsiveness makes them a great fit for emergency braking applications. These brakes are unidirectional, meaning their braking torque is greatly reduced in the reverse direction. Torque range: […]

The Airflex type VE element assembly is air actuated and utilizes a rubber air tube. When air pressure is applied, the tube expands, causing friction shoes to engage with the inside diameter of a drum. The VE has an open construction which allows better […]

The Airflex type E element assembly is actuated by applying air to an expanding air bladder. Leaf springs are used to overcome centrifugal forces and insure that the friction shoes disengage. Torque range: 11,300 to 225,000 lb-in (1,280 to 25,400 Nm) Typical applications: Construction […]

The Airflex VC element assembly is an air-actuated constricting drum unit. The VC’s ventilated design allows rapid heat dissipation. The torque is carried by torque bars, and leaf springs retract the friction shoes when air pressure is released. Because of this construction, all components […]

Boston Gear NLS centrifugal clutches allow for systems to be started without load. In addition to aiding in startup, these clutches protect against shock loads by slipping when overloaded. NLS clutches are available in both free engagement and delayed engagement models. Power range: 0.2 […]

The Airflex CB element assembly is air-actuated, with a neoprene rubber air tube providing the clamping force. Friction shoes mounted on the tube’s inside diameter engage around a cylindrical drum. In this design, the rubber air tube is bonded to the outer steel rim. […]
