LKT Clutch or Brake Design Features

Ventilated air inlet
spider mounts
directly to cylinder
for efficient
actuating air flow
into and out of unit.

Short-stroke lightweight aluminum piston is
c

ontour machined to match the cylinder
recess and provides for extremely fast clutch
response with minimal air consumption.

Self-contained separator springs for
positive disengagements are inte­gral with each plate and cannot fall
out upon assembly or disassembly.

High quality non-asbestos
l

ining materials and maximum
areas ensure excellent heat
dissipation and lining life.

Longest possible spline length
incorporated on the clutch
discs to maximize the load­carrying capacity and life.

Long life, low
replacement cost
piston seals.

Drive studs ensure free plate
motion during engagement and
disengagement. The use of drive
studs, rather than splines, allows
wear particles and other contami­nants to exit the clutch as well as
provides an excellent path for
cooling air flows.

Unit has been designed with total attention given to maximizing ventilation for cool-running operation.
Benefits include: longer lining life; stable friction coefficients; and lower maintenance costs.

All materials selected and field proven to provide the best available resistance to wear and thermal distress.

Precision machining of all components ensures positive interchangeability of all mating parts.
