WCB elements are disc type, externally cooled units. They are designed to absorb and dissipate the thermal loads associated with the most severe clutch and brake applications. The WCB friction couple was developed specifically for continuous slip service and has a dynamic coefficient of friction that is greater than its static coefficient of friction. Also available, special high coefficient linings, which provide 50% higher torque than standard friction linings and provide a 1:1 dynamic to

Features

Patented piston design
Single or dual piston provides wider range of applied tension with greater control.
Drop in powerhead package
Standard single piston elements can be retrofitted with a dual piston powerhead to provide increased control.
Split wear spacers
The split wear spacers allow for wear adjustment without disassembly of the brake to minimize downtime and maintenance costs.
Unique friction couple
A specially formulated friction material, interfacing with a copper alloy surface, eliminates the stick-slip characteristic associated with ordinary frictional devices.
Rapid heat dissipation
The copper interface conducts heat rapidly to the circulating coolant.
Open or closed loop coolant systems
The element works equally well with open or closed loop circulating systems. On mobile equipment, the engine’s cooling system can be tapped to provide coolant to the element.
Optional corrosion protection
For marine environment applications, protective coatings are available to minimize corrosion.

7 Exact torque rating is dependent upon applied pressure. Maximum allowable pressure is 150 psi (10.3 bar).
8 Exact torque rating is dependent upon applied pressure. Maximum allowable pressure is 150 psi (10,3 bar).maximum allowable outlettemperatures are 150ºF (65ºC) for fresh water; 165ºF (74ºC) for 70/30 and 60/40 water glycol mixes; and 170ºF (77ºC) for 50/50 water glycol mixes.
9 To insure proper cooling, inlet port must be at the six o’clock position. Flow rates shown are for fresh water, flow rates for water glycol mixes must increase to achieve the ratings in the Thermal Rating column. Maximum allowable inlet pressure – 65 psi
