Clutches & Brakes
Our clutches, brakes and couplings transmit hydraulic and mechanical power efficiently and safely under the harshest conditions in trucks, buses and industrial machinery. Let us customize a solution for you.
Automated transmissions are currently featured on more than 75% of new heavy-duty trucks. The clutches needed for these transmissions differ from the currently popular angle spring designs.
Eaton Advantage Automated ECA clutches offer the durability and performance necessary to withstand the high actuation conditions associated with automated transmission systems using Electronic Clutch Actuation technology.
Draglines, power shovels and conveyors are just a few examples of machinery that require high-cyclic or high-inertia stops—exactly where Eaton Airflex DBA disc-style brakes excel. Featuring large friction areas to absorb and dissipate energy, Eaton Airflex DBA brakes are available as spring-applied and air- or hydraulically-released, with either solid or ventilated discs to match the speed of the application.
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.
