The type CB element assembly is designed and built to provide dependable clutch or brake service in the most exacting industrial applications. It is suited to high-speed, cyclic operations, as well as for coupling and general power transmission.
Element torque capacity is dependent upon the applied pressure and rotating speed. Catalogue ratings are given at 75 psi (5.2 bar) and zero rpm. Maximum recommended pressure is 110 psi (7.6 bar).
CB elements are available in 20 sizes, which are identified by the drum diameter (in inches) on which they constrict and the width (in inches) of their friction lining. For instance, size 16CB500 is designed to constrict on a 16-inch (406 mm) diameter drum and has a friction lining width of 5 inches. The smallest CB element will constrict on a 3-inch (76 mm) diameter drum, and the largest on a 45-inch (1143 mm) diameter drum.
