Winch, Crane and Marine Products

Series 66H Pressure Applied Multi-Disc Clutch

These clutches are widely used in Marine Applications, and are designed for use in oil. The pressure supply is fed axially along the mounting shaft and radially outwards through the clutch hub into the cylinder. Positive disengagement is achieved by the use of release springs between the inner plates.

Standard drive rings are available as optional extras.

66H Features

Clutch does not require adjustment
Torques can be varied by regulating supply pressure
Bearing-free design eliminates bearing life considerations
Speed of engagement can be controlled by varying pressure supply flow rate
Individual plate seperation ensures low drag torque
Large friction area gives extended plate life
Multi-disc design results in compact, high torque clutch
No axial thrusts transmitted to adjacent components

Series 56P Spring Applied Pressure Released Multi-Disc Brake

These brakes are widely used in Winch and Mining Applications, and are designed for dynamic breaking with oil in the disc-pack chamber, and can also be used dry as holding brakes.

They are engaged by disc-springs and disengaged by a pressure supply to the cylinder which moves the piston axially, compressing the disc springs and releasing the plates. The hub is usually fitted to the end of the shaft whuch is being braked.

56P Features

Spring-applied, ensuring automatic braking in the event of a power failure
With all working parts being enclosed, the brake is suitable for external mounting, even in unfavourible environments
Provision is made for a thorough flow of cooling oil to give greater heat dissipation
External mounting to shaft ends facilitates retro-fitting to existing machinery
The end plate can be bored to suit through-shaft installations
Multi-disc design results in compact high torque brake
Only the hub and inner plates rotate, minimising rotational inertia

Series 1EB Spring Applied Electromagnetically Released Brake

These brakes are used as motor brakes, let it be servo motors, or any other motors for any application, including winches and cranes.

They are designed for dry use. They are engaged by a disc spring and disengaged by a DC Voltage. The hub is fitted to the shaft which is being braked.

1EB Features

Spring-applied ensuring engagement in the event of a power failure
Design configuration is particularly suitable for external mounting, simplifying retro-fitting to existing machinery
Only the hub and friction disc rotate, minimising rotational inertia
Efficient magnet design reduces power consumption and heat generation

Typical Applications

Printing machinery
Textile machinery
Material handling
Conveyors
