Eaton's Expanding Clutches & Brakes maximize performance in braking and tensioning applications. The ER Type units come in a range of sizes with a rugged, tire-like neoprene and cord tube that expands radially, forcing a friction surface against an inner drum to create stopping torque.

Type ER Expanding Clutches & Brakes provide a large torque in a relatively small package. It also creates electrical isolation between connecting shafts. ER elements are used as shaft couplings or holding brakes where engagement occurs at zero speed differential between element and drum. Ideal for applications where a disconnect is required without stopping the prime mover, or in which the driving equipment must be frequently withdrawn from the drive.

ER elements are best suited in applications such as Centrifuges, Core Expanders, Laundry Machines, Textile Machines, and Tire Building Machines.

Features:

• Expanding units with neoprene facing.
• Engagement of the element should occur when there is no speed differential between driving and the driven shaft.
• Available in ten sizes; the smallest expanding to a 3" (51mm) diameter drum, and the largest to a 24" (610mm) diameter drum. 

Standard Sizes: 

• 3ER125, 6ER200, 8ER250, 10ER300, 12ER350, 14ER400, 16ER475, 19ER475, 21.5ER475, 24ER475
