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.
