Eaton-Airflex CM element assemblies were designed primarily for the marine industry for use on diesel-driven reverse-reduction gears.

In addition to providing all of the CB element features, the CM's ventilated friction shoes permit clutch slippage at low energy rates during vessel manoeuvring, as well as cycling engagements at high energy rates. Rim registering allows triple element assemblies.

The CM is used in applications where moderate slippage is encountered, which would shorten the operating life of a CB element.

Torque capacities up to 3,236,000 lb-in, 365,The Eaton-Airflex type VC element assemblies are designed and built for severe clutching and braking applications on heavy-duty equipment. They are unmatched for high starting loads and sustained slippage, where heat generated tends to lower efficiency and shorten the operating life of conventional clutches.

Their high torque ratings permit the use of smaller diameter units, which lower contact velocity in high-speed applications. Ventilated construction permits passage of cooling air to rapidly dissipate heat from the friction shoes. Torque is transmitted from the side plates of the elements through torque bars to the friction shoes.

Torque capacities up to 15,189,000 lb-in, 1.706.629 N-m.000 N-m.
