Eaton-Airflex DBA spring-applied brakes are typically used in:

• Can making machines
• Draglines
• Power shovels
• Conveyors
• Power presses

Airflex DBA disc-style brakes are spring-applied and air- or hydraulically released. Brake discs are either solid or ventilated. Solid brake discs are used in applications requiring a heat sink and/or where engagement is infrequent. Ventilated discs are recommended for high-speed cyclic applications. Equal torque is developed in either direction of rotation.

DBAV elements feature large friction areas, which allow the brakes to absorb and dissipate high energy loads associated with high cyclic and high inertia stops. They require minimum adjustment for lining wear. Single-disc units require no wear adjustment, and dual-disc units require only one wear adjustment during the long life of the friction material.

Torque capacities up to 386,630 lb-in, 43.050 N-m.
