Product Features
- Clutches may be slipped moderately to control the acceleration rate.
- When large inertia loads are powered from electric motors, smooth, controlled slip starts by Wichita Clutches can keep power demands below the allowed maximum.
- Heat generated by controlled slipping or high cycle rate operation is dissipated by the centrifugal blower design of these units.
- Wichita Low Inertia and Very Low Inertia Clutches and Brakes are designed to be completely free from effects of centrifugal force and self energization.
- Torque developed is in direct proportion to air pressure applied.
- These clutches and brakes interface well with automated controls through simple air and/or electric circuits.
- Water cooled, copper disc clutches are available for use when power transmission needs require excessive or constant slipping which demands higher heat dissipation.
- Wichita Clutches operate perfectly when teamed with Wichita Brakes in production situations requiring tension control, cylic duty, or positioning.
