Eaton’s passion for developing revolutionary new disc brake technology led to the development of the Floating House Brake (FHB)—a patented braking concept that uses a floating housing instead of a floating rotor. Rated for over 430,000 lb-in of torque, these spring-applied, air-cooled disc brakes are commonly used in applications like surface mining, oilfields and other heavy-duty industrial machinery. The Airflex FHB both maximizes friction life and offers a rapid friction replacement capability.

Addresses these engineering challenges:

• Rated for over 430,000 lb-in of torque
• Patented braking concept uses a floating housing instead of a floating rotor
• Multiple brake installation designs exist for industry leading motors
• Fixed hub and rotor design

Product 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
