Product Description
Our Low Inertia Clutches and Brakes are meticulously engineered to excel in high cycle applications and general clutch/brake duties. Designed for end-shaft mounting, typically on a flywheel, these units feature minimal part movement during start/stop operations. This significantly reduces acceleration time, allowing for more cycles per minute. The pneumatically applied and spring-released design ensures fast engagement and disengagement, enhancing operational efficiency.
Low Inertia Clutches and Brakes Overview:
- Application: Ideal for high cycle applications or general clutch/brake duties.
- Design: End-shaft mounting, typically on a flywheel.
- Actuation: Pneumatically applied, spring released; hydraulic actuation available.
- Engagement: Fast engagement and disengagement with air pressure design.
- Adjustment: Minimal adjustment required.
- Operation: Controlled slipping and high cycle operations.
- Cycle Life: High cycle life with predictable preventative maintenance.
- Plate Options: Slotted, solid, and ventilated center plates available.
- Bore Size: 22 - 480 mm.

Product Features
Performance:
- Torque Range: 3,160 to 17,850,000 lb-in (340 to 1,204,000 Nm).
- Applications: Presses, shears, bulk material handling, and general industrial equipment.
- Features:
- Air applied, spring released disc style units.
- Torque proportional to air pressure applied.
- Designed to be free from effects of centrifugal force and self-energization.
- Low inertia start/stop parts reduce acceleration times and heat generation.
Air-Tube Disc Brakes:
- Design: Combines disc type clutch features with direct air engagement advantages.
- Engagement: Direct axial pressure application by compressed air in a full-circle tube.
- Operation: Smooth engagement without noise, shock, or impact, with complete release in a fraction of a second.
- Control: Clutches may be slipped moderately to control acceleration rate.
- Heat Dissipation: Heat generated by controlled slipping or high cycle rate operation is dissipated by centrifugal blower design.
Additional Features:
- Centrifugal Force Free: Designed to be completely free from effects of centrifugal force and self-energization.
- Torque: Developed in direct proportion to air pressure applied.
- Automation: Interfaces well with automated controls through simple air and/or electric circuits.
- Cooling: Water cooled, copper disc clutches available for high heat dissipation requirements.
- Compatibility: Operate perfectly when teamed with brakes in production situations requiring tension control, cyclic duty, or positioning.
