Wichita Clutches & Brakes

Air, hydraulic, or spring set actuated and water cooled design, featuring copper wear plates optimized for heavy-duty continuous slip tension applications. AquaMaKKs™ consist of a series of alternating friction discs and water jackets. Torque is transmitted by applying axial force from the pneumatic, hydraulic, or spring set actuator. Copper wear plates are used for excellent...

The Wichita CAB Copper Alloy Brakes are pneumatically actuated water cooled brakes designed for use in constantly slipping applications. CAB brakes have a high power dissipation capacity within a reduced envelope size due to their advanced design. Developed for original equipment manufacturers and upgrading of existing plant. CAB brakes are frequently used on tension control...
