Selection Guide Application Factors Clutch/Brake sizes are affected by the f ­ollowing variables: 5. Clutch/brakes on most machines are designed to slip prior to damage from shockloads. As a result, the clutch/brake may require periodic maintenance; therefore the clutch/brake should be located in the power train for easy access. Clutch/brakes should also be located for max­mum cooling air. In instances where i­ this is not possible, forced air cooling may be desirable to extend clutch/brake life. 1. Machines that operate under smooth loads require smaller clutch/brakes. These machines are driven...
