Clutches & Brakes

Wichita Grinding Mill Clutches are specially designed to provide quick, smooth starts with limited current surge for heavy duty grinding mills. The clutch is adaptable to remote control allowing centralized operation through simple air or electric circuits.

Wichita LI‑SSB Brakes are fail‑safe, spring‑set, air‑released units engineered for rapid response and high‑cycle stopping. With low‑inertia components and full‑circle friction discs, they provide fast deceleration, reduced heat generation, and reliable performance. Multiple configurations support varied torque, thermal, and mounting requirements in demanding industrial applications

The Twiflex Caliper Brake is a durable, spring‑applied, hydraulically released system that delivers balanced stopping power and adaptable mounting, with scalable braking capacity and compatible industrial brake discs.

Svendborg Caliper Brakes paired with the SOBO™ iQ controller provide precise, reliable stopping for heavy‑duty applications. The spring‑applied, hydraulically released brakes ensure fail‑safe performance, while SOBO™ iQ delivers controlled, low‑wear braking through advanced pressure and speed modulation for consistent stopping times and smoother operation.

HPB elecromagnetic brakes are engineered to deliver peak performance while occupying minimal space. These compact, modular brakes provide exceptional stopping power, quick response times, and high heat dissipation, ensuring reliable performance for high-speed applications. The optional IIoT Monitoring offers a compeltely sensorless detection of the brake Stauts.

Stromag 2in1 Clutch Coupling solutions integrate a flexible coupling and switchable clutch into one compact unit, reducing system complexity and installation time. With built‑in torsional damping and precise actuation—electric, hydraulic, or pneumatic—they deliver efficient power transmission, reduced wear, and reliable performance across diverse industrial drivetrain.

Designed for industrial applications requiring high performance in a compact, lightweight package. The SAB 56,000 Series is spring-set, electrically released, and features an adjustable torque down to 50% of rated nameplate torque. Universal mounting through 15 lb-ft, the 20 and 25 lb-ft are supplied with springs for vertical modification.

Bibby Turboflex Torque Limiters provide precise, reliable overload protection by instantly disengaging at a preset torque to prevent damage and downtime. Suited for high‑ and low‑speed applications, these fully enclosed, all‑metal units offer accurate, repeatable release, bi‑directional operation, and optional manual or automatic reset for versatile industrial use.

The Warner Electric FC Centrifugal Brake delivers smooth, speed‑dependent braking by automatically engaging as rotational speed increases. Using centrifugal force, it provides zero torque below the engagement threshold and progressively higher braking torque at higher speeds. Its robust, dry‑running design ensures reliable, low‑maintenance performance for controlled deceleration and load regulation.

With over 60 years of proven expertise, Stieber delivers high-precision freewheels and backstops engineered for demanding applications. Our overrunning clutches ensure smooth disengagement of drives, while backstops provide reliable protection against reverse rotation, keeping your material handling systems safe and efficient. Discover how Stieber’s advanced technology can optimize your bucket elevator performance.

Marland Backstops are roller style, bearing supported units that prevent reverse torque runaways on inclined conveyors by locking the low speed head shaft. BC models are oil lubricated and sealed for harsh environments, with optional BCMA automatic lubrication to maintain a continuous grease barrier. These designs ensure reliable, contamination resistant backstopping in demanding applications

For over 50 years, Formsprag has led the industry in long life overrunning clutches, backstops, and clutch couplings. With the broadest range of sprag and ramp and roller designs, Formsprag delivers exceptional reliability, precision, and durability, ensuring smooth, dependable performance in demanding industrial applications.
