Soft Start and/or Over Load Protection
Known in the past as Simplatrol, Formsprag or Mesur-Fil, the smaller size 7.0, 9.4 and the 12.4 size fluid couplings are manufactured in Wichita Falls, TX.
These are available for electric motors from ½ HP to 50HP that operate at speeds as low as 500 RPM and as high as 3600 RPM. During start-up the fluid coupling will reduce the current draw on your electric motor by 33%.

Integral cooling fan for long life
Visual wear indicators
3 bolt mounting and easy service connections
Air applied brake
The Model CBH combination clutch/brake is an oil immersed unit with a spring-set brake and hydraulically actuated clutch designed for end of shaft mounting. It is designed for extremely high cycle rates, and for those applications requiring a high degree of stopping accuracy.
The model CBH is ideal for turret punch press conversions.
The Model HBA is an oil-immersed brake designed for use on a drive train shaft extension. Unique friction plate grooving patterns,as well as the forced oil cooling feature allow the Model HBA brake to dissipate the heat generated by stopping the high energy loads common to today's heavy duty industrial equipment. The Model HBS brake is identical to the Model HBA brake,except the unit is designed to be spring-set.
The Model HC is an oil-immersed clutch designed for end-shaft,or through shaft mounting configuration. The compact size of the HC makes these units ideal for incorporation within a gear housing. Multiple speed transmissions use a variety of these units to affect fixed mesh speed changes. The Model HC may be used as a stand-alone device for disconnects service, or conveyor soft starts.
The Model LKB is a spring-set, air or hydraulic released brake. This design offers a wide range of torque capacities and release pressures, with total attention given to maximizing ventilation for dissipating large thermal loads. This is a dry, disc type application.
Product Features
Modular design for maximum flexibility of operation
Disc specially designed for good heat dissipation at low and high speeds
Fan cooling is optional for even higher heat capacity
Brake module is common to all disc sizes and contains two sets of air applied rolling diaphragm actuators.
Three actuator sizes coupled with either standard or low-coefficient friction pads gives a wide range of flexibility and selection
Modular Tension Brakes (Electro-Disc) are modular caliper type electric brakes used for unwind tensioning. Torque is varied by disc diameter and by changing the number of magnets on the friction disc(s).
PBM Series Motor Brakes are single friction face brakes, activated by power on, and are electrically operated 12, 24, 103,5 VDC. PBM Series Brakes consist of 3 variants VAR00, VAR01, and VAR02.
The PC design requires a brushholder (available from Warner Electric) to carry current from the power source to the rotating magnet. When applied, this current concentrates a strong magnetic attraction (flux) around the magnet. The magnetic flux attracts the armature to the magnet and engages the clutch.
