Eaton Airflex Expanding Clutch Assembly's
Type E Elements:
Airflex E elements are primarily used as slip clutches or tension brakes; however, they can also be used for general power transmission service. Torque is transmitted from the friction shoes to the element housing through torque bars. Engagement occurs when air expands the actuating tube forcing the friction shoes against the inside diameter of the drum. Release springs assist shoe disengagement and counteract centrifugal force.
E elements are ideal for moderate to heavy duty clutch and brake service.
E elements are suited for medium speed cyclic applications which are subject to large thermal loads.
When used with an air agitating ventilated drum, the E element provides excellent slip clutch and tension brake service.

Type EB Elements:
Airflex EB element assemblies are used in both clutch and brake service with light starting loads. The EB is similar in design to the CB except that it is an expanding type unit. The primary function of the EB design and construction is the Airflex torsional resilient principal made possible by the transmission of power through the side walls of the flexible neoprene and cord actuating tube. This flexibility also permits minor shaft misalignment.
EB elements are suited for slow speed applications having moderate starting and stopping loads.
EB elements are used as slip clutches and tension brakes for lighter torque and horsepower applications.
