Airflex Type ‘EB’
Elements are similar to CB assemblies, except they expand—rather than constrict
Airflex Type ‘ER’
Expanding couplings thrive in applications where a disconnection is required without stopping the prime move, or when the driving or driven equipment must be frequently withdrawn from the drive.
Eaton Airflex – Air Cooled Disc Clutches & Brakes
Eaton’s Airflex air-cooled disc clutches and brakes are designed to excel in a wide range of applications. Featuring favorable torque-to-size ratios and low-inertia friction disc assemblies, they provide maximum braking performance in limited spaces.
Airflex Type ‘FHB’
Featuring brake designs with floating housings instead of floating rotors, Eaton’s patented Airflex Floating House Brake (FHB) technology extends operating life without compromising performance.
Airflex Type ‘DBA’
Spring-applied and air- or hydraulically released Brake. with either solid or ventilated discs for either low-engagement or high-speed, cyclic applications.
Airflex Type ‘DBB’
Spring-applied, air- or hydraulically released and feature torque capacities and heat dissipation characteristics ideal for cyclic applications
Airflex Type ‘DBBS’
Spring-applied and air- or hydraulically released brakes. Engineered to dissipate heat and are ideal for non-cyclic applications.
Airflex Type ‘DC’
clutches and brakes provide the same torque capacities as larger packages for excellent performance in a variety of applications.
Airflex Type ‘PDC’
Pneumatic Disc Clutch provides a durable, trouble free design to maximize uptime at a fraction of the cost of competitive disc clutches.
Eaton Airflex – Water Cooled Brakes
Eaton Airflex has developed four different models of water-cooled brakes in a variety of sizes. Advanced design features match specific application requirements, such as high horsepower absorption, continuous slip service, thermal load dissipation, dynamic tensioning, static holding and emergency stopping.
Airflex Type ‘WCS’
Externally cooled, spring-applied WCS brakes are designed to provide continuous slip service while absorbing and dissipating thermal loads from even the most severe braking and tensioning applications.
Airflex Type ‘WCB2 / WCBD’
Engineered to thrive even in the most severe clutch and brake applications, Eaton Airflex WCB2 and WCBD water-cooled brakes absorb and dissipate huge thermal loads.
Airflex Type ‘WCSB’
Brakes are air-applied, water- and air-cooled, multiple-disc brakes that excel in heavy-duty applications. Designed for dynamic tensioning, static holding and emergency stopping
Airflex Type ‘WCB3’
The Third Generation Water Cooled Brake is designed to dissipate extremely high thermal loads. The improved internal design and increased water flow allow improved fluid dynamics with better energy dissipation characteristics. The new brake is available with the Eaton’s Airflex dual piston design as well as the air- and water-cooled combination style brake that acts as both a dynamic tensioning and static holding brake.
Eaton Airflex – Combination Clutch/Brake Packages
Combining clutches and brakes into compact, all-in-one units allows Eaton to tailor packages to meet the requirements of many specific applications. Engineered for a range of speeds, engagements and cycle types, each Eaton Airflex Clutch/Brake packages bring a unique set of features that give systems the stopping power they need to operate safely and efficiently.
Airflex Type ‘FSPA’
Powerful Eaton Airflex combination clutch and brake packages are drum type CB or VC air-applied clutches combined into a compact package that excels in punch press use and many other types of cyclic equipment.
Airflex Type ‘DCB’
Specifically designed for the high-speed, continuously running machinery of the can-making industry, Eaton Airflex DCB units provide enough capacity and stopping power to execute extremely fast stops.
Airflex Type ‘AMCB’
Featuring an air-actuated disc clutch and a spring-applied disc brake, AMCB AccuStop® units are engineered for small- to medium-tonnage, high-speed, high-cycle punch presses.
Airflex Type ‘CBC’
Compact Eaton Airflex CBC brakes feature an air-actuated disc clutch and spring-applied disc brake for the perfect combination of flexibility and performance
Eaton Airflex – Spring Applied Drum Brakes
Eaton Airflex Spring-Applied, Air-Released Drum Brakes are engineered to automatically engage in the event of air pressure or power loss, these brakes are perfect matches for many moderate-speed, high-torque cyclic applications.
Airflex Type ‘CS’ and ‘CSA’
Drum-style brakes are unidirectional units that develop less torque in the reverse direction of drum rotation
Airflex Type ‘CTE’
Drum-style brakes deliver much greater torque than Eaton Airflex Type CS brakes.
Eaton Airflex – Caliper Disc Brakes
Eaton Caliper Disc Brakes offer safe, reliable braking solutions for industrial, marine, oil and gas, energy and entertainment sector applications. With a quick response time, long lifetime and simple maintenance, the brakes maximize safety and help reduce machine downtime.
Airflex Type ‘DP’ and ‘DPA’
