Danfoss Airflex WCBD3 Water-Cooled Brakes

Product Details:

• Dual-Piston Design for Superior Performance
  The WCBD3 incorporates a dual-piston design that enhances dynamic tensioning and static holding functions. This air and water-cooled combination brake ensures effective energy absorption in high-stress applications.

• Externally Water-Cooled for Optimal Thermal Management
  The brake features a robust, externally-cooled design that is engineered to handle extremely high thermal loads. This advanced cooling system ensures the brake maintains peak performance in continuous high-slip operations, preventing overheating and extending the brake's service life.

• Advanced Fluid Dynamics for Improved Efficiency
  The third-generation WCBD3 boasts improved internal design and water flow dynamics, allowing for more efficient cooling and faster energy dissipation. This results in increased thermal capacity, reducing the risk of heat-related failures.

• High Energy Absorption
  With up to 1000 HP per disc, the WCBD3 is capable of handling extreme energy demands with ease. This feature enables faster tripping times and provides opportunities to downsize the brake without sacrificing performance.

• Compact, Self-Supporting Construction
  The WCBD3 has a self-supporting structure that eliminates the need for costly support brackets, simplifying installation and reducing overall system costs. The compact design also enhances maintenance efficiency, allowing for quicker rebuilds and reducing maintenance intervals.
