AIR COOLED DISC CLUTCHES & BRAKES

Airflex DB Spring-Applied Brakes are disc style brakes that are spring-applied and air-released.  The DBB torque capacities and heat dissipation characteristics make them ideal for high speed cyclic applications.  The DBA and DBBS designs are ideal for non-cyclic applications because of their high energy capacities.

Airflex DC Clutches & Brakes are air-applied units available in multiple-disc designs.  They feature a favorable torque to size ratio and low inertia friction disc assemblies.

Product Sizing
Air cooled element brake sizes are indicated by the number of brake/friction discs and the disc diameter in inches. For instance, a size 229DBA has two discs 29 inches in diameter.
