Product catalog summary
Overview: The Model HC (Dry Lining) clutches by Wichita Clutch are designed for end of shaft or through shaft mounting configurations. They utilize 24 bar hydraulic actuation and multiple dry organic lined friction plates, offering high torque capabilities in a compact design.
Specifications: The clutches feature an internally splined outer drive ring for attachment to driving or driven members. They can also be supplied without an external drive ring for custom integration. Actuation pressure can be pneumatic or hydraulic, introduced through an axial hole or a separate manifold for end shaft mounts.
Materials and Design: All torque-transmitting components are designed for heavy-duty industrial service, with hubs and drive rings made from hardened high-quality alloy steel forgings. The disc pack cores use extra-heavy plate thicknesses to maximize torque and heat capacity. Friction materials are optimized for high thermal load acceptance and smooth engagement.
Environmental Suitability: The clutches are suitable for harsh environments due to their enclosed design and dust/water ingress seals. Optional epoxy paint finishes provide additional protection.
Applications: These clutches are ideal for winch connect/disconnect drives, conveyor or mill drives, and multi-speed transmissions.
Performance Data: The document provides detailed torque, weight, and RPM specifications for various models, such as HC-8-6, HC-10-6, and others, with dynamic and static torque values based on 24 bar hydraulic pressure.
Dimensional Data: Dimensions for each model are provided, including maximum bore and connection threads, with a note that dimensions are subject to change.
Global Support: The document lists worldwide distributors and support contacts across various countries, ensuring global availability and service.
