Airflex options relevant to power shovels

DBB disc-style brakes
Danfoss identifies power shovels among DBB applications, including cyclic duties where heat dissipation matters.
Use these family descriptions to organize your inquiry. The exact assembly, dimensions, operating conditions and equipment requirements determine compatibility. Supply status is confirmed for the specific requested part.
What to document before requesting parts
Machine identification
Include the shovel make, model and any machine serial number associated with the installed brake arrangement. Note whether the equipment has been modified.
Assembly and configuration
Record the complete DBA or DBB designation if fitted. Include the existing drawing and visible connection details; an application listing is not an interchangeability statement.
Service request
Describe whether you are replacing a complete brake or purchasing identified wear or service components. Photographs can clarify the inquiry, but should accompany part references whenever available.
Prepare your power shovels parts inquiry
- Shovel make, model and machine serial reference
- Installed brake family and complete designation
- Drawing number and requested component numbers
- Operating duty, quantity and required delivery date
Provide any original drawing, nameplate photo or previous purchase reference with your email. Keep original markings intact when photographing the assembly, and include units with any dimensions you supply.
For older Eaton Airflex equipment, retain the original identification in your inquiry rather than guessing a current substitute. A visible family name helps start identification, but does not replace the full part or assembly number.

Power shovels: frequently asked questions
Does every power shovel use DBA or DBB brakes?
No. These are manufacturer-documented application families. Confirm what is fitted to your particular machine.
Can DBA and DBB be substituted for each other?
Do not assume interchangeability. Any proposed change requires review of the exact assembly and application requirements.
Which photos are most useful?
Send a readable nameplate, a full assembly view and close-ups of relevant markings. Include a drawing if the requested item is internal.
Can I request a complete brake and parts separately?
Yes. Identify each line as either a complete assembly or an individual component, with its own quantity.
