Floating Housing Brake
|
Eaton’s passion for developing revolutionary new disc brake technology led to the development of the Floating House Brake (FHB)—a patented braking concept that uses a floating housing instead of a floating rotor. Rated for over 430,000 lb-in of torque, these spring-applied, air-cooled disc brakes are commonly used in applications like surface mining, oilfields and other heavy-duty industrial machinery. The Airflex FHB both maximizes friction life and offers a rapid friction replacement capability.

Addresses these engineering challenges:
Rated for over 430,000 lb-in of torque
Patented braking concept uses a floating housing instead of a floating rotor
Multiple brake installation designs exist for industry leading motors
Fixed hub and rotor design
Product Features
Long-wearing organic friction material and a rugged, solid-cast rotating disc reduce inertia compared to typical caliper brakes
Designed to fit and interface with multiple, industry-leading motor frames
Fixed hub and rotor design extends product life by eliminating wear during free-wheeling
360 degree annular disc reduces overall maintenance downtime by extending the life of friction pads, which are also easier to change
Exclusive shaft lock assembly improves installation speed and safety
