Product Features

  • The Wichita Air-Tube Disc Clutch combines all the best features of
    the disc type clutch with all the advantages of the 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 social
    composition full-circle tube.

  • Wichita Clutches engage smoothly without noise, shock or impact and
    release completely in a fraction of a second. Extremely fast action is
    possible because of the small volume of air required.

  • 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 controled 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.

  • Wichita Brakes have the same outstanding performance characteristics as
    Wichita Clutches.
