Coupling Clutches
The Wichita Standard Vent Combination
Clutch-Coupling is designed for reliable
in-line power transmission. The simple
air-tube design, with small air volume,
speeds en gage ment and dis en gage ment.
It is un af fect ed by centrifugal force and has
no self-energization like drum clutch designs.
Ideally suited for large inertia loads where
smooth controlled starts are needed.
The Wichita air-tube disc design combines all
the best features of a disc type clutch with all
the advantages of direct air en gage ment. It is
the simplest and most trouble-free method of
applying air pres sure yet designed.
Problems of speed, smoothness, en gage ment
or disengagement with all types of
loads…problems of compactness …prob lems
of simplifying main te nance and many other
prob lems in a wide range of ap pli ca tions are
quickly solved with Wichita clutches or
brakes.
Air passages through
clutch greatly assist in
keeping clutch cool.
Demountable back
plate for accessibility.
