wcbAquaMaKKs Water Cooled Brakes with Composite Water Jackets

Product catalog summary

Overview: The wcbAquaMaKKs Water Cooled Brakes are designed by Altra Industrial Motion, specifically Wichita Clutch, for applications requiring superior tension control and high heat dissipation. These brakes are particularly suitable for the oil and gas industry, marine deck machinery, and other heavy-duty applications.

Specifications: The brakes are available in 24” and 36” sizes and feature air-applied, spring-released, water-cooled friction interfaces. They are designed for draw-works, service rigs, dyno applications, and winches. The brakes are interchangeable with existing ‘wcb’ types, facilitating easy installation and conversion.

Features:

Interchangeable with existing brake types for ease of installation and spare parts utilization.
Available with Air Tube Disc (ATD) or True Dual Pistons (dpS) actuation.
Reduced weight, approximately 40% less than iron units.

Composite Water Jackets: The brakes feature new engineered composite water jackets that improve performance through enhanced channeled water flow, ensuring high heat absorption and torque stability. These jackets are corrosion-resistant and lightweight, offering several benefits:

Improved cooling capability due to groove design.
Lightweight design for easy maintenance, about 60% less weight than metal designs.
Longer life with fewer replacements needed.
Interchangeable with WCB compatible brakes.
Marine-grade, fluoropolymer-coated hardware for corrosion resistance.

Performance: The brakes provide excellent controllability for drilling feed-off, tripping, pay-out, and holding functions. They are tested to withstand various pH levels, simulating sea water conditions.

Technical Data: The document includes detailed specifications for different models, including unit weight, maximum water temperatures, pressure, heat capacity, and dimensions. It also provides mounting hole patterns for installation.

Contact Information: The document lists contact details for various Altra Industrial Motion locations worldwide, including the USA, UK, France, and Germany, for customer service and application assistance.
