Eaton-Airflex DBB spring-applied brakes are typically used in:
- Bottling equipment
- Power shovels
- Conveyors
- Shears
- Power presses
Airflex DBB disc-style brakes are spring-applied and air- or hydraulically released. Their torque capacities and heat dissipation characteristics make them ideal for cyclic applications. Equal torque is developed in either direction of rotation.
The DBB element features a low-inertia friction disc assembly, which reduces the overall inertia that must be stopped. It also features optional split friction discs. This allows for the removal of friction discs without disturbing other components of the drive system in a mid-shaft brake arrangement.
DBB elements feature long-wearing, self-lubricating PolyPak seals, which eliminate premature twisting failure and require no external lubrication.
Torque capacities up to 2,535,750 lb-in, 286.524 N-m.
