Simple to be intalled and compact; the Airing radial units are engaged by an air tube and can be used as drum brakes (in stopping and holding applications) or clutches (to connect two shafts directly or through a pulley).
Maximum torque from 40 to 4 000 Nm.
The high thickness friction pad and the reliable air tube ensure high performances and low maintenance cost.

|
The DC and DCV constricting drum clutches and brakes are found all throughout industry in general power transmission duties.
Constructed using an integral rim and tube actuator, the DC has low inertia and high misalignment capacity, offering a simple solution to less arduous clutch and brake requirements.
A full range of options is available: Dual flanges for back to back mounting giving double torque capacity. Multiple air inlets for increased response speed. Split construction to avoid removal of the shafts on in-line drives. And wether you require just the friction shoe or mounting pins, or a complete actuator and rim assembly, all are backed by the Wichita name for service and reliability

Get More for Less in E-Stop Braking — By Breaking from Convention
# 28 Torque Ranges
# Three Frame Sizes
# 6 Disc Configurations
High Torque, Low inertia Engineering
Innovators at low inertia brake engineering, Force Control Industries, Inc. reduces size and mass to deliver more of what you need from an E-Stop brake - fast acting response - while paring away what you don't want.
Compact, Action Packed Design
Highly compact, space efficient designs, Force Control Industries, Inc. E-Stop Brakes feature a small diameter, multi-stack brake stack. This minimizes cyclic inertia of the brake itself for faster stopping, while multiplying braking surfaces. The brake stacks are fitted with unique dry friction facing material rated for heavy duty performance. Exceptionally durable, the material provides a high-coefficient of friction for high stopping torque in a small package.
Purpose Built Design
Unlike general purpose brakes adapted for E-Stop applications, our purpose built design doesn't need to be large and heavy to dissipate high heat loads, because it isn't subjected to frequent braking cycles. You only need one stop per episode - but then with the fastest possible response time.
So, we designed our E-Stop Brake with small diameter, multiple discs for high braking torque with low inertia. It's the same formula we have applied for years in our high performance oil shear brakes.
Multiple springs provide fast response and balanced braking torque, plus enhanced safety factor in event of a broken spring.

Airflex CB element assemblies are used as both clutches and brakes in general power transmission service. The primary feature of the CB design and construction is the Airflex torsional resilient principle made possible by the transmission of power through the side walls of the flexible neoprene and cord actuating tube. This flexibility also permits minor shaft misalignment.
|
|
|
Airflex 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.
|
|
|
Airflex 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.
|
|
|
Airflex 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.
|
|
|
Airflex 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.
|
|
|
Immediate, positive engagement with no slippage. High torque producing, compact profile. Rated for a maximum pressure of 100 PSI. Heat dissipating finned plates available on some models.

Ortlinghaus multiplate safety clutches are permanently engaged, this condition being maintained by spring pressure. They are able to transmit torque up to a particular, preset level, after which in the case of an overload in the transmission, they are designed, to slip for a limited period of time. They can thus be used to safeguard all types of transmission lines in machines and equipment from overloading and destruction. They have the task of smoothing out high torque peaks, at start ups, and during the operating of a line. This is done by the clutch plates slipping past each other for a short period of time when the desired maximum torque is reached.
The torque at which a clutch starts to slip can be varied, within limits. In this way these clutches safeguard gear wheels, shafts and other drive elements from damage and thus guarantee operational reliability for an extended period of time; in this way they also help to prevent the need for repairs. It must be kept in mind that when the clutch is slipping, frictional heat is produced and released within the set of plates and that the permissible amount of heat is limited. This thermal loading must be kept within the required limit with the aid of a slip monitoring device, which would switch off the drive. This is necessary with fast running drives where the critical amount of heat is reached very rapidly when slipping commences.

Winch, Crane and Marine Products
Series 66H Pressure Applied Multi-Disc Clutch
These clutches are widely used in Marine Applications, and are designed for use in oil. The pressure supply is fed axially along the mounting shaft and radially outwards through the clutch hub into the cylinder. Positive disengagement is achieved by the use of release springs between the inner plates.
66H Features
* Clutch does not require adjustment
* Torques can be varied by regulating supply pressure
* Bearing-free design eliminates bearing life considerations
* Speed of engagement can be controlled by varying pressure supply flow rate
* Individual plate seperation ensures low drag torque
* Large friction area gives extended plate life
* Multi-disc design results in compact, high torque clutch
Series 56P Spring Applied Pressure Released Multi-Disc Brake
These brakes are widely used in Winch and Mining Applications, and are designed for dynamic breaking with oil in the disc-pack chamber, and can also be used dry as holding brakes.
They are engaged by disc-springs and disengaged by a pressure supply to the cylinder which moves the piston axially, compressing the disc springs and releasing the plates. The hub is usually fitted to the end of the shaft whuch is being braked.
56P Features
* Spring-applied, ensuring automatic braking in the event of a power failure
* With all working parts being enclosed, the brake is suitable for external mounting, even in unfavourible environments
* Provision is made for a thorough flow of cooling oil to give greater heat dissipation
* External mounting to shaft ends facilitates retro-fitting to existing machinery
