Low Inertia Clutch Size 8–36

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...

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...

DC and DCV drum-type clutch and brake units are commonly found across various industries and in general power transmission applications. Constructed using an integrated rim and tube actuator, the DC model features low inertia and high misalignment capacity, offering a simple solution for clutch and brake requirements.

Wichita High Torque Clutches provide the highest torque to size ratios of any Wichita Clutch. They provide smooth controlled starts and stops and are designed for minimum power loss due to low rotating inertia. Characteristics Pneumatically applied – spring release 1, 2, 3 or 4 disc design For dry use only Utilisation End-of-shaft mounting on...
