The Eaton 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: […]

The Eaton 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 […]

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 Eaton 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 […]
