Eaton-Airflex DC clutches and brakes are typically used in:
- Power presses
- Tension brakes
- Emergency stop brakes on unwind stands
- Clutches on metal-forming applications
Airflex DC clutches and brakes are available in single and multiple disc designs. They feature a favorable torque to size ratio and low inertia friction disc assemblies.
DC type elements are physically smaller than most other type clutches and brakes with the same torque capacity. They feature a low inertia friction disk assembly which reduces the overall inertia that must be started or stopped. There is also an option for split friction disks which allow for removal of the friction disks without disturbing other components of the drive system in mid-shaft element arrangement.
The DC element features a long wearing, self lubricating PolyPak seal which eliminates premature twisting failure and requires no external lubrication.
Torque capacities up to 2,061,000 lb-in, 233.000 N-m.
