CLUTCHES - BRAKES - CLUTCH-BRAKES
Products Overview

Highly Reliable Air Clutches and Brakes contribute Rationalization of Machines and Equipments

In the era of Factory Automation Clutches and Brakes are playing important roles in the field of motion controls.

NEXEN-ASAHI Air Clutches and Brakes are used in the most industries such as general industrial machines, paper converting, material handing and many others for factory automation, laborsaving, high productivity, environmental safety,less maintenance, energy saving and etc.

Compared to their electrical counterparts, air clutches and brakes provides the following benefits:
Efficiency
Air does not generate heat during extended clutch or brake engagement.
As a result, air clutches and brakes provide greater torque transmission and thermal capacity.
Productivity
Because of greater thermal capacity, air clutches and brakes have a longer operating life. Also, there is less chance of performance problems because of their simple design.
Cost Saving
Air clutches and brakes are more cost-efficient because it takes less energy to run an air compressor. Air-powered components last longer, resulting in fewer repair and replacements.

Environmental Safety
All friction materials used in our “Air Champ” line are non-asbestos. Ozone-depleting chemicals are NOT used in the manufacturing of “Air Champ” products. All packaging materials are non-asbestos.

Safety First
All Power Transmission Products are potentially dangerous and should be guarded in accordance with OSHA applicable regulation. Photographs in this catalog shows guards removed only for illustration and clarity purposes.

Features of Air Clutches and Brakes

1. Effective Heat Dissipation
"Continuous Slip"
Due to the employment of the disc with cooling fins with high efficient heat dissipation effect and large heat capacity, Air Clutches and Brakes have higher heat capacity than electromagnetic clutches and brakes
"Stable Torque"
As there is no torque fade by heat, No torque fade occurs due to the rise of temperature.
2. Wide Range of Torque Controls
Ratio of Torque Range 1:15 ~1:880
Changing air pressure enables fine torque control of machines.
• Overload Protection • Tension Control • Fine Soft Start & Stop are realized.
3. Safety because of Air
No " Electric Arc" is Generated.
As no electricity is used, no "electric arc" is generated.
Use of Non-Asbestos Friction Facing
Durable anti-wear and heat resistance is realized without using Asbestos.
4. Flexibility of Versatility
High Speed Operation
Air clutches and brakes is 20 % faster than electric clutches and brakes.
Smooth Engaging and Braking
Transmitted torque is easily controlled, and smooth engagement and braking is realized. Smooth operation produces a great benefit for improving durability of machines.
5. Long Life and Easy Maintenance
Long Life
As clutches and brakes has better heat dissipation effect and thicker friction facing, the life is 2.5~5 times longer life than electric clutch and brakes.
Easy Mounting & Handling
Simple design and one-piece structure enables easy handling.
Easy Replacement of Friction Facing
Frinction Facings are designed for easy replacement.
Interchangable Spare Parts for Worldwide Market
Interchangable spare parts are available in the world market.
