wcbAquaMaKKs brakes are air-applied, spring-released, water-cooled, friction interface brakes designed ideally for draw-works, service rigs, dyno applications, and winches. Models are available in 24” and 36” sizes.
Features:
• Interchangeable with existing ‘wcb’ types of brakes to allow for ease of installations, conversions, and
spare parts utilizations
• Units are Air Tube Disc (atd) actuation
• Reduced overall brake weight with use of light weight aluminum powerhead
• Wichita drill & trip controls available for enhanced controllability & performance
Wichita’s unique patented water jacket design, with improved channeled water flow, ensures high heat absorption and torque stability, providing greater heat dissipation compared to similar sized competitive units.
Other water jacket benefits include:
• Improved channeled water flow – achieved via groove designed into jacket providing enhanced cooling
capability
• The water jackets high rib design offers a patented ‘balance flow’ along with extremely high velocities of
coolant for enhanced HP absorptions
• Water Jackets have extremely low pressure drops across the flow path compared to other legacy branded
water jackets
• Water jacket assemblies are interchangeable with WCB compatible brakes
• For added protection, hardware used to attach copper onto the water jackets is marine grade,
fluoropolymer coated to resist gauling and corrosion
• Marine Corrosion Resistant Brakes and Assemblies are also available.
• Units are Air Tube Disc (ATD) actuation for drastically improved brake response, low hysteresis, and
natural resilience to ‘air systems’ w/ hi moisture content
and/or salty environment exposure.
