The Wichita Combination Clutch/Brake provides fast, smooth cycling for stamping presses and metal forming equipment. The simple air-tube concept combines an air actuated clutch and spring-set brake in a compact, pancake assembly that prevents overlap. The extra fins and cooling slots allow for excellent heat dissipation. A low stress spline eliminates driving pins between the shaft and center plate, while the precision die springs provide consistent long-life braking action.
The high performance air-tube design in sizes 380 and above, with optional quick air-release valves, provides faster cycling than piston and cylinder models. There are no o-rings or piston seals to wear-out and leak, and no lubrication or adjustment is necessary. Worn friction plates can be relined at Wichita’s factory on an exchange basis. Installation of the CCB is also easy. The simple air system has external connections and requires no shaft seals. Metric mounting and SAE fasteners are standard. Available in eight sizes with an optional hub for shrink disc mounting. Clutch capacities through 340,000 lb.in. and brake torque through 250,000 lb.in.
Wichita Combination Clutch/Brakes are manufactured and assembled in the United States and backed by a global sales, service and distributor organization.
