Product Description:
The GUMMI FK pneumatic element is engineered to provide reliable service for both brakes and clutches in some of the most demanding industrial applications. Designed for high-speed and cyclic operations, the FK element combines the benefits of a robust clutch with the flexibility of a coupling. Its pneumatic chamber absorbs misalignments and vibrations, ensuring smooth operation. The coupling of its friction pads is uniform across the entire friction surface, with the torque proportional to the applied air pressure. No lubrication or adjustment is necessary due to friction material wear, making it maintenance-friendly.

Key Features:

Designed for high-speed and cyclic operations, ideal for power transmission in industrial applications.
The pneumatic chamber absorbs misalignments and vibrations, ensuring smooth and reliable performance.
Uniform friction pad contact across the entire surface for consistent operation.
Air pressure regulates torque, eliminating the need for manual adjustments.
No lubrication or maintenance required due to wear-resistant friction material.
Available in a wide variety of sizes ranging from 3" to 45", adaptable for different applications.
Suitable for single, dual, or double flange configurations depending on the model and application requirements.
Radial FK units offer a simple, efficient design for reliable clutch and brake operations.

Torque Range:
The GUMMI FK pneumatic element operates across a wide range of torque values, from 40.7 Nm to 58,772 Nm, making it suitable for various industrial applications.

Dimensions:
The FK element is available in sizes from 3" to 45", in different configurations including single and dual sections, with one or more air connections depending on application needs. For example, the 16 FK 500 unit is designed to operate with a 16-inch drum and has a friction pad width of 5 inches.

Optional Configurations:

Single or dual flange units, with dual-flange units capable of being combined to double the torque capacity.
Available in 20 sizes, identifiable by the drum diameter (in inches) and friction element width.
Double units are available from models 12FK350 to 45FK525, allowing for higher torque transmission in demanding applications.
