Expanding Type
Clutches and Brakes
Type
E
Torque capacities up to:
1,010,000 lb·in
114.000 N·m
Eaton Airflex (Fawick) E elements are primarily used as slip clutches
or tension brakes; however, they can also be used for
general power transmission service. Torque is transmitted
from the friction shoes to the element housing through
torque bars. Engagement occurs when air expands the
actuating tube forcing the friction shoes against the
inside diameter of the drum. Release springs assist
shoe disengagement and counteracts centrifugal force.
Type
VE
Torque capacities up to:
221,000 lb·in
24.950 N·m
Eaton Airflex (Fawick) VE elements were specially designed for greater
heat dissipation capacity in an expanding type element.
Available in a limited number of sizes, they offer all
of the type E features.
Type
EB
Torque capacities up to:
98,580 lb·in
11.130 N·m
Eaton Airflex (Fawick) EB element assemblies are used in both clutch
and brake service with light starting loads. The EB
is similar in design to the CB except that it is an
expanding type unit.
Type
ER
Torque capacities up to:
118,000 lb·in
13.300 N·m
Eaton Airflex (Fawick) ER couplings are expanding units with neoprene
facing. As such, they combine the advantages of a flexible
and disconnect coupling. Engagement of the element should
occur when there is no speed differential between driving
and driven shaft.
