Multiple Disc Clutches and Brakes
Eaton-Airflex AS and AR clutches are typically used in:
- Synchronising
- Indexing
- Speed changing
- Marine main propulsion
- Winch applications
Airflex hydraulic clutches are multiple-disc units available in stationary or rotating cylinder design. They are intended for use with a spray, splash, or through-the-shaft lubricating system, where high speeds are encountered and a high torque/small envelope ratio is required. They are also suitable for air actuation.
Type AS utilises a bearing-mounted, stationary actuating cylinder, which permits a direct external connection to the clutch. The AS design eliminates any centrifugal head on the actuating fluid, which could prevent clutch disengagement.
Torque capacities up to 26,000 lb-in, 2,550 N-m.
