T SARANA TEKNIK CLUTCH BRAKE
Type CB
Torque capacities up to:
1,160,000 Ib•in
131.000 N•m
Airflex CB element assemblies are used as both clutches and
brakes in general power transmission service. The primary
feature of the CB design and construction is the Airflex
torsional resilient principle made possible by the transmission
of power through the side walls of the flexible neoprene and
cord actuating tube. This flexibility also permits minor shaft
misalignment.
Type VC
Torque capacities up to:
13,877,000 Ib•in
1567.000 N•m
Airflex 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 effi-
ciency and shorten the operating life of conventional clutches.
Their high torque ratings permit use of smaller diameter units
which lowers contact velocity on high speed applications.
Ventilated construction permits passage of cooling air, to rap-
idly dissipate heat from the friction shoes. Torque is transmit-
ted from the side plates of the elements through torque bars
to the friction shoes.
Type CM
Torque capacities up to:
3,236,000 Ib•in
365.000 N•m
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,
their ventilated friction shoes permit clutch slippage at low
energy rates during vessel maneuvering, as well as cycling
engagements at high energy rates. Rim registering allows
triple element assemblies.
