Spring-Set Brake

The Wichita Kopper Kool airtube disc Clutches and Brakes are liquid cooled and consist of a series of alternating discs connecting an inner drive member to an outer drive member. Engagement is achieved by pneumatic expansion of the airtube. This air-operated clutch contains copper discs for excellent heat dissipation and provides an accurately controlled continuous...

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...

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...

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...
