Eaton-Airflex VE clutch and brake assemblies are used in:

  • Construction equipment
  • Marine winches
  • Metalworking machinery
  • Slip clutches
  • Tension brakes


Airflex VE elements were specially designed for greater heat dissipation capacity in an expanding-type element. Available in a limited number of sizes, they offer all of the type E features.

VE elements are ideal for moderate to heavy-duty clutch and brake service. They are suited for medium-speed cyclic applications that are subject to large thermal loads. When used with an air-agitating ventilated drum, the VE element provides excellent slip clutch and tension brake service.

Torque capacities up to 221,000 lb-in, 24,950 N-m.
