Copper Alloy Brake

The Model HC or HCD clutches are designed to be used in either an end of shaft or through shaft mounting configuration. Their compact size makes these units ideal for incorporating within a gear housing. Multiple speed transmissions use a variety of these units to effect fixed mesh speed changes, or they may be used...

A simple,cost effective design, with a one piece steel water jacket to eliminate leakage. Characteristics Pneumatically applied – spring release Water cooled for good heat transfer 1, 2, 3...

The name for Wichita’s ModEvo tension control brake is derived from ‘modular’ and ‘evolutionary’, terms that describe it perfectly. Modular – because braking systems to suit diverse tensioning applications can be assembled from a minimal number of modules common to the entire ModEvo range. Evolutionary – because continuous development of new materials, improved design and...

The Wichita Standard Ventilated Clutch-Coupling is designed for reliable in-line power transmission. The simple air-tube design, with small air volume, speeds engagement and disengagement. It is unaffected by centrifugal force and has no self-energisation like drum clutch designs. Ideally suited for large inertia loads where smooth controlled starts are needed. The Wichita air-tube Disc Clutch...
