What does Wichita Clutch manufacture for the offshore energy industry?

Located in Wichita Falls, Texas, Wichita Clutch produces rugged and dependable brakes and clutches with high-speed acceleration and deceleration. A key Wichita Clutch product we’re featuring at booth 2005 includes our AirMaKKs SSB for conveyors, cranes, and drawworks.

The AirMaKKs SSB is an air-cooled, spring-set air tube release high torque brake designed to provide low speed braking assistance, as well as parking and E-stop braking functions.

AirMaKKs SSB models utilize the basic, easy-to-maintain, pin-style, modular design of our popular water-cooled AquaMaKKs series, including the brake housing with torque plates installed instead of water jackets.
