Clutch-brake unit

EIDE designs and manufactures clutch-brakes.
A clutch-brake is the union of a clutch and a brake in such a way that they form the same self-supporting unit. There are different constructive forms to be mounted directly on the application or to be mounted between motor and reducer in a simple way.

The pneumatic brake-clutch is a compact unit of a pneumatic brake and a pneumatic clutch. It can be positive, if it engages when applying air pressure and brakes through springs, or negative, if it stays engaged thanks to springs and disengages when applying air pressure. When it is necessary to transmit a high torque, but not much space is available, we have versions with a toothed clutch.

The electromagnetic clutch-brake is a compact unit of a brake and an electromagnetic clutch. They work in a similar way to an electromagnet, in which there is a coil to actuate the clutch and a coil to actuate the brake. When electrically powered, a magnetic field is created and activates the clutch or brake mechanism.
