Airflex air-cooled disc clutches and brakes excel in a wide range of applications. With favorable torque-to-size ratios and options with low-inertia friction disc assemblies, they provide maximum performance in limited spaces.
Full annular friction for higher energy performance and smaller package size compared to calipers
Torque rating - High torque capacity to package size ratio
Flexible design - Spring- or pressure applied, multiple disc units
Air-cooled models available
Floating Housing Brake (FHB) – Completely redesigned disc brake for dragline applications
DBBS brakes – Third generation spring-applied disc brake
DBB brakes – Second generation spring-applied disc brake with low inertia
DBA brake – The original design with 1000’s of installations still in use
DC clutches and brakes – Air-applied design for better torque control
When you need precise balance of rotating components - even at high operating speeds—trust the reliable performance of Airflex DBBS disc-style brakes. These spring-applied and air- or hydraulically released brakes are engineered to dissipate heat. This, plus high torque capacities, makes DBBS brakes ideal for the most demanding, non-cyclic applications.
