FHB Brakes
Clutch Engineering offers Eaton Airflex’s FHB brakes for applications such as dragline hoist systems, drag, and swing applications, as well as other use cases. These high-quality products use a patented floating housing design instead of a typical floating rotor design. These brakes are particularly well suited for heavy-duty industrial applications like those found in surface mining and oilfield machinery. FHB brakes are air-cooled disc brakes that are spring applied and pressure released. Benefits include the ability to quickly change the friction pads reduces down time on dragline from 3 hours to 1 hour and a reduced maintenance cost with elimination of spline tooth or gear wear.
Torque range: 288,000 to 432,900 lb-in (32,540 to 48,918 Nm)
Typical applications: Dragline hoist, drag, swing, and propel/walk
