Danfoss Airflex VC Series Constricting Clutches & Brakes

Danfoss Airflex VC Series Constricting Clutches & Brakes

For High Torque Industrial Applications
The Danfoss Airflex VC Series Constricting Clutches & Brakes are designed to handle the most severe clutching and braking applications. Ideal for high-inertia loads and continuous slippage conditions, these air-applied constricting clutches and brakes are commonly used in industries like mining, marine propulsion, metal forming, and oil and gas. The ventilated open construction rapidly dissipates heat, providing high torque capacities of up to 1,706,629 Nm (15,189,000 lb-in), making them perfect for heavy-duty operations that demand shock-free engagement and sustained durability.

Product Details:

  • High Torque Capacity
    The VC Series is capable of delivering torque capacities up to 1,706,629 Nm (15,189,000 lb-in), ensuring powerful performance in high-stress environments like grinding mills and oil field machinery.

  • Ventilated Open Construction for Heat Dissipation
    The ventilated friction shoes allow for the passage of cooling air, which helps rapidly dissipate heat, increasing operational efficiency and extending product lifespan. This feature is particularly beneficial in applications involving sustained slippage.

  • Shock-Free Engagement
