VC Clutches

Airflex® VC is a pneumatic clutch/brake specifically designed and manufactured for heavy-duty equipment.
Clutches or brakes applied to heavy-duty equipment typically suffer from reduced efficiency and service life due to high starting loads and continuous slippage. By contrast, the radial contracting and ventilated design of the VC series delivers high torque transmission and rapid heat dissipation, effectively mitigating the adverse effects of high starting loads and continuous slippage.

Description

Product Overview

Airflex offers friction drum diameters ranging from 11.5 inches to 76 inches.The product model indicates the nominal diameter of the friction hub, the clutch series, and the width of the friction material.For example: the model “38VC1200” denotes a nominal friction hub diameter of 38 inches, an Airflex VC series clutch/brake, and a friction material width of 12 inches.

✨ Core Technical Highlights

Smooth Start-Up, Effortlessly Handling Ultra-High Inertia Loads

Equipment such as mills and crushers have enormous rotational inertia that is difficult to start directly, easily causing motor shock and damage to the transmission system. Our clutches feature a radial contraction and ventilated design, delivering high torque with excellent heat dissipation efficiency, enabling smooth start-up within 4-7 seconds. This effectively reduces starting current, protects motors and gearboxes from impact, and extends the overall service life of the equipment.

Engineered for harsh environments with high starting loads and continuous slip—such as those found in mining, marine and oilfield applications—they exhibit outstanding wear and fatigue resistance, maintaining stable efficiency even during long-term operation.

Overload Protection: Rapid Disengagement to Safeguard Expensive Drive Components

In the event of abnormal conditions such as overload or stalling, the clutch disengages instantly to cut off power transmission, protecting costly components like motors and gearboxes from damage and significantly reducing maintenance and downtime costs.

Manufactured with high-strength materials and precision craftsmanship, the clutches feature a reliable structure and fast disengagement response, ensuring safety while preventing production interruptions caused by false triggers.

Industrial-Grade Durable Design, Adapted to Severe Working Conditions

Constructed with high-quality friction materials and a ventilated heat dissipation structure, they withstand continuous slip and high-load operation, with fast heat dissipation and low temperature rise to avoid performance degradation caused by overheating.

The all-metal construction and sealed design offer excellent dust, moisture and impact resistance, making them suitable for harsh environments such as dusty mines, corrosive oilfields and humid marine conditions. They deliver stable, reliable long-term operation with low maintenance costs.

✨Typical Application Scenarios

  • Mining & Metallurgy: Main drive systems for ball mills, rod mills, crushers and sintering machines
  • Petrochemical Industry: Power transmission for oilfield drilling rigs, transfer pumps and compressors
  • Marine & Heavy Industry: Clutch and braking systems for marine propulsion, deck machinery and winches
  • Building Materials Industry: Heavy-duty start-up and overload protection for cement mills, rotary kilns and roller presses
