Water Cooled Brakes

Product catalog summary

Overview of WPT® Water Cooled Brakes (WCB)
WPT® Water Cooled Brakes are engineered for applications that require significant thermal load dissipation, such as dynamometers, forestry equipment, winches, and petroleum drilling equipment.

Airtube Advantage
The brakes feature a reinforced neoprene airtube that enhances sensitivity to pressure changes, is corrosion-resistant, and simplifies control with a basic pressure valve and regulator. O-rings allow for easy maintenance, reducing downtime.

O-Ring Advantage
High-temp silicone o-rings seal the water jackets, accommodating copper expansion and contraction during heat dissipation, thus improving reliability.

WCB Variants

WCB Spring Set (WCB/SS): A spring-applied, air-release, fail-safe brake for forestry and petroleum applications.
WCB Dual Actuated (WCB/DA): Combines air-applied control and spring-applied fail-safe features for heavy-duty applications.

Specifications and Dimensions
Specifications include torque ratings, heat dissipation capacity, and dimensions. Key parameters:

Torque ratings depend on air pressure, with a maximum of 130 psi (9 bar).
Thermal ratings require specific water flow rates and maximum inlet pressures.
Dimensions and mounting details are provided, with customization options available.

Performance and Maintenance
WCB brakes offer high torque and heat dissipation, with specifications for maximum slip and disengaged speeds. The design focuses on maintenance ease and operational efficiency.

Specifications and Technical Data
Detailed specifications include dimensions, pressure requirements, and thermal ratings. Key points:

36” brakes have a tolerance of +0.000/-0.005.
Maximum bores are shown with a standard square key; larger sizes require consultation.
Minimum pressure is needed to release the brake, with adjustable springs for lower pressure and torque.
Thermal ratings depend on specific water flow rates and temperature conditions.

The WPT > ή advantage is built into every one of our Water Cooled Brakes (WCB). > Standard with all WCB units, the reinforced neoprene airtube reacts accurately to small pressure changes and offers no resistance to movement - therefore increasing sensitivity. Our airtubes are inherently corrosion resistant and require no additional coatings or protective treatments. They are ideal for marine and other harsh environmental applications where real world conditions can severely affect performance and reliability.Finally, the WPT > airtube design ensures product performance without the need of expensive...
