Product catalog summary
Eaton Airflex Clutches and Brakes Overview
Eaton Airflex provides a comprehensive range of industrial clutches and brakes designed for high torque and horsepower absorption with precise control. The product line includes constricting clutches and brakes, water-cooled brakes, air-cooled disc clutches and brakes, and combination clutch/brake packages.
Product Categories
  • Constricting Clutches & Brakes: Drum-style products that expand radially inward, including CB, CM, and VC types, suitable for power transmission and heavy-duty equipment.
  • Water-Cooled Brakes: Models like WCB, WCS, and WCSB feature air and spring-applied mechanisms with water-cooled friction discs.
  • Air-Cooled Disc Clutches & Brakes: These offer favorable torque-to-size ratios and low-inertia friction disc assemblies, with types such as DBA, DBB, and DC.
  • Combination Clutch/Brake Packages: Includes FSPA, CBC, and DCB lines, featuring air-applied clutches and spring-applied brakes.
  • Caliper Disc Brakes: Engineered with opposed piston designs for balanced braking performance, available in DP and DPA types.
  • Torque Limiting Couplings: Designed to handle torque spikes in demanding applications, automatically disengaging during system overloads.
Product Sizing and Nomenclature
Products are identified by drum diameter, friction lining width, and the number of friction discs. For example, a 26CM475 constricts on a 26-inch diameter drum with a 4.75-inch friction lining.
Engineering Resources and Support
Eaton offers extensive engineering resources, replacement parts programs, and a two-year warranty on all components. Genuine Airflex replacement parts ensure performance to original specifications.
High Energy Ventilated Constricting Clutch (HEVC)
The HEVC clutch provides high energy capacity and driveline protection, sustaining high torque at elevated temperatures, reducing maintenance costs, and improving efficiency.
Applications
  • Oil, Gas, and Water Drilling: Products like CB and VC are used in drawworks, offshore pipe laying, and mooring systems, providing reliable service in high-speed, cyclic operations.
  • Mining and Cement: Used in conveyors, crushers, and grinding mills, designed for severe industrial conditions with high torque and thermal capacities.
  • Marine: Applications include anchor winches, bow thrusters, and main propulsion systems, where products like WCB and VC provide efficient solutions.
  • Can Making: Products like DCB and CB are tailored for high-speed can extruding machinery, offering quick response and high durability.
  • Pulp and Paper: Used in calendars, converters, and rewind stands, ensuring dependable service in high-speed operations.
  • Metalworking: Applications include alligator shears, forging presses, and stamping machines, where products like CBC and CTE provide high performance and flexibility.
Key Features
  • High torque and thermal capacity for demanding applications.
  • Fail-safe braking systems for safety and reliability.
  • Durable designs for long-term use in severe industrial environments.
  • Quick response and adaptability for high-speed operations.
Conclusion
Eaton Airflex clutches and brakes are engineered to meet the rigorous demands of various industrial applications, offering reliable performance, safety, and efficiency.
