Wichita Low Inertia clutches and brakes are air applied, spring released disc style units that develop torque proportional to the air pressure applied. The units are designed to be free from effects of centrifugal force and self-energization. Low inertia start/stop parts reduce acceleration times, which allows more cycles per minute, as well as reducing heat generation.
Torque range – 3,160 to 17,850,000 lb-in (340 to 1,204,000 Nm)
Typical applications – Presses, Shears, Bulk Material Handling and General Industrial Equipment
Low Inertia Air Tube Disc Brakes
The Wichita Air-Tube Disc Brakes combines all the best features of the disc type clutch with all the advantages of direct air engagement. The simplest and most trouble-free method of applying air pressure is through direct axial pressure application by compressed air in a special composition full-circle tube.
