VC SERIES CLUTCHES AND BRAKES
Ideal for severe high torque applications, the VC brake serves as a durable, high thermal capacity drum clutch
or brake. The unique design of the ventilated friction shoe assembly allows for a high volume of air flow across the entire
shoe length, enhancing heat dissipation, preserving the elastomeric actuator tube and extending overall clutch life. Virtually all
components used in the VC design are replaceable.

KEVLAR
PROTEC THERMOFIBER 1600 CUSTOM DISC PADS
THERMOFIBER 1600 is a unique material designed for
both wet and dry applications. This material offers
exceptionally low wear rates, high & stable friction coefficient
and smooth running, even at elevated
temperatures. TF1600 polishes mating surfaces,
virtually eliminating wear.
Besides these features, TF 1600 has been designed
with ecology in mind. The material runs cleanly with
LOW BRAKE DUST. The manufacturing process employ
no hazardous contaminating products or by-products
such as copper or lead.
Available in all sizes & forms. Also available in VC/CM
expander clutch tire-tube lining. A powerful nonconductive
insulation effect provides an additional 100F
heat resistance provides extra safety margin.
