Danfoss Airflex WCSB Water-Cooled Brakes

Product Details:

• Multiple-Disc Design for Heavy-Duty Applications
  The WCSB model features a multiple-disc brake configuration, combining two water-cooled friction discs and one air-cooled friction disc to deliver robust dynamic tensioning, static holding, and emergency stop functions.

• Dual Air-Applied Pistons for Greater Control
  The WCSB utilizes dual air-applied pistons for dynamic tensioning while employing a spring-applied mechanism for emergency stopping. This ensures reliable operation in critical applications where precise braking control is needed.

• High Torque and Thermal Capacity
  With a torque rating of up to 571,119 Nm and thermal capacity of up to 2,908 kW, the WCSB brake can handle the extreme heat and pressure typical of heavy-duty operations. It is particularly well-suited for applications where continuous braking or tensioning is required.

• Unique Friction Couple for Smooth Performance
  The WCSB series features a specially formulated friction material that interfaces with a copper alloy surface. This unique combination eliminates stick-slip characteristics, ensuring smooth, consistent braking performance even under high loads.

• Optimized Cooling System for Maximum Efficiency
  The WCSB is both water-cooled and air-cooled, allowing it to dissipate heat efficiently, even during prolonged use. This cooling system is critical for maintaining brake performance in high-energy applications like mooring systems and drawworks.
