Product Details:
High-Energy Absorption for Dynamic Tensioning
The Water Cooled Brake is specially designed for dynamic tensioning applications that require continuous slip. With its ability to manage high thermal loads, this brake ensures smooth and reliable performance in demanding environments like marine winches, drilling rig drawworks, and logging equipment.Superior Heat Dissipation
The internal design includes copper alloy wear plates and water flow channels that provide excellent heat dissipation, preventing overheating during heavy-duty operations. This feature ensures long-lasting reliability and optimal performance under high-stress conditions.Available in Hydraulic or Pneumatic Actuation
The WCB offers flexible actuation options, available with either hydraulic or pneumatic systems. Additionally, dual actuation is available, making it adaptable to complex and high-performance setups.Spring-Applied with Pneumatic or Hydraulic Release
For applications that require additional braking power, the spring-applied design provides reliable static holding or emergency stopping functions, with hydraulic or pneumatic release mechanisms available.Easy Maintenance with O-Ring Water Jacket Design
The O-ring water jacket is designed for fast and easy field service, reducing downtime during maintenance or repairs. This allows for quick installation in OEM applications, retrofits, or rebuilds.Full Marine Corrosion Protection Available
For marine applications, the Full Marine Corrosion Protection package ensures that the WCB can withstand harsh saltwater environments, offering long-term durability. This makes the WCB ideal for offshore winches and mooring applications.Type Approval Certifications
The WCB can be provided with DNV and ABS type approval certifications, ensuring that it meets international safety and quality standards. Other certifications are available upon request.
