Product Advantages
Compact Structure & Lightweight
Featuring a minimal axial size and low inherent rotational inertia, it maximizes machinery efficiency while maintaining robust performance.
Safe and Asbestos-Free
Employs friction materials devoid of asbestos, aligning with environmental and safety standards for a healthier workplace.
Easy Maintenance
Designed for straightforward friction pad replacement without total disassembly, significantly reducing equipment downtime.
Excellent Heat Dissipation
Innovative disc arc design enhances heat dissipation, prolonging product lifespan during extended high-load operations.
Working Principle & Installation
Clutching & Braking
Clutching: Compressed air moves the piston to engage friction pads, transmitting power to the driven part.
Braking: Ceasing air supply allows springs to retract the piston, halting the driven part within 0.01 - 0.02 seconds.
Installation Key Points
- Pin hole tolerance must be H7.
- Hole center must be parallel to the main shaft center.
- Sealing caps required for axial air intake systems.
- Square pins must be parallel to the radial direction of the ear plate.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the primary applications for the KB series clutch brake?
It is widely used in forging, printing, textile, welding, shipbuilding, and specialized fields like metal processing and paper machinery.
How fast does the braking process take?
The system is engineered for rapid response, achieving full cessation of the driven part within 0.01 to 0.02 seconds.
Is the friction material environmentally friendly?
Yes, our clutch brakes use 100% asbestos-free friction materials, ensuring safety for both users and the environment.
Can friction pads be replaced without dismantling the entire machine?
Yes, the design allows for straightforward friction pad replacement without the need to remove ear plates or the main clutch body.
When is the right time to replace the friction pads?
Friction pads should be replaced once they wear down to half of their original thickness or when the machine no longer meets its rated capacity.
What air pressure is required for standard operation?
Most models in the KB series operate optimally within an air pressure range of 5 to 7 bar.
