CB Constricting Clutches & Brakes
CB elements are renowned for their torsional resilience, thanks to the transmission of power through the sidewalls of the flexible neoprene and cord actuating tube. This flexibility allows for minor shaft misalignments, making them ideal for industrial machinery in various sectors, including can-making, commercial laundry, metal forming, oil and gas, printing, rubber processing, and tire building.

VC Constricting Clutches & Brakes
VC elements excel in severe clutching and braking applications on heavy-duty equipment. They are designed to handle high starting loads and sustained slippage, where heat generation can reduce efficiency and shorten the lifespan of conventional clutches. The high torque capacities and ventilated friction shoes enable these units to dissipate heat rapidly, making them suitable for high-speed applications.

EB Expanding Clutches & Brakes
EB elements are designed to expand radially outward when pressure is applied, forcing friction shoes against an inner cylindrical drum surface to create stopping torque. These units are well-suited for slow-speed applications with moderate starting and stopping loads. They are commonly used as slip clutches and tension brakes for lighter torque and horsepower applications in industries such as agriculture, centrifuges, core expanders, laundry machines, textile machines, and tire building machines.
