Clutches & Brakes

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.
