Spring Applied Drum Brakes

Airflex CS/CTE drum style brakes are spring-applied, and air-released. They will automatically engage should loss of air pressure occur. Their design and construction are ideal for moderate speed, high torque, cyclic applications. The CS brake is unidirectional, developing less torque in the reverse direction of drum rotation. The CTE brake develops greater torque than the CS type and is bi-directional. The CTE develops approximately the same torque in either direction of drum rotation.

Product Sizing

Spring applied element sizes are identified by the outside drum diameter in inches on which the brake works and the width in inches of their friction lining. For instance, a size 9CSA200 is designed to operate on a 9 inch diameter drum and has a friction lining width of 2 inches.
