TYPE WCSB

Airflex WCSB elements are air applied, water and air cooled, multiple disc brakes designed for heavy-duty brake/tensioning applications. They are similar to the WCB line except for a feature that allows for greater control of the braking/tensioning function.

  • The WCB element features dynamic tensioning, static holding and emergency stopping which are provided by one brake removing the need for multiple braking systems
  • The WCB element also features a specially formulated friction material, interfacing with a copper alloy surface which eliminates the stick-slip characteristics associated with the ordinary frictional devices.
  • Torque Capacities* Up To: 5,058,625 lb·in, 571.119 N·m
  • Thermal Capacities Up To: 3,900 HP, 2.908 kW
  • Typical Applications: Drawworks, mooring systems, log yarders
  • Standard Sizes: 224WCSB,324WCSB, 424WCSB, 236WCSB, 336WCSB, 436WCSB, 248WCSB, 348WCSB, 448WCSB
