Advanced Testing Our broad in-house testing capability allows for shortened product development cycles. Each brand has the capability to rapidly produce prototype units for test and evaluation by customers, or by using our own in-house, full scale testing equipment to simulate the operating conditions of a specific client-defined application. In combination with electronic data acquisition, we can accelerate the design, testing and verification processes in order to meet the demands of shortened product development cycles. Test Capabilities • Constant Tension • E-Stop • Dynamic Braking...

Ensuring Long Lasting Performance A fatigue test room at our Twiflex facility allows us to test caliper brakes up to 2,000,000 cycles at 280 bar, 2 kW dissipation on four modular stations. This enables us to provide accurate thruster performance and friction material wear data which minimizes the risks of downtime. The largest rig in the industry To meet growing customer demand, Wichita Clutch recently invested in a new, large capacity test stand. The rig is comprised of state-of-the-art VACON variable frequency drives that operate two motor/gearbox drivetrains allowing for coordinated...
