The Eaton Floating House Brake (FHB) is a revolutionary new disc brake technology featuring a patented braking concept that uses a floating housing instead of a floating rotor. These spring-applied, air-cooled disc brakes are rated for over 430,000 lb-in of torque and are commonly used in applications like surface mining, oilfields and other heavy-duty industrial machinery. The Eaton Airflex FHB both maximizes friction life and offers a rapid friction replacement capability.
Overview
Features
Long-wearing organic friction material and a rugged, solid-cast rotating disc reduce inertia compared to typical caliper brakes
Designed to fit and interface with multiple, industry-leading motor frames
Fixed hub and rotor design extends product life by eliminating wear during free-wheeling
360 degree annular disc reduces overall maintenance downtime by extending the life of friction pads, which are also easier to change
Exclusive shaft lock assembly improves installation speed and safety
