Marine clutche and brake Wichita Clutch

Design Features


- In-Line power applications.

- Smooth controlled engagement.

- Unaffected by centrifugal force.


All Wichita Marine Clutch units are

custom built to satisfy marine

classification society requirements.


The Wichita Standard Ventilated Clutch

is usually used in combination with

recognised flexible couplings to provide

reliable in-line power

transmission. The simple air-tube

design, with minimum air volume and

high engagement and disengagement

speeds, is unaffected by centrifugal

force and has no self-energisation like

drum clutch designs.

Ideally suited for high inertia loads such

as main propulsion drives where

smooth controlled starts are needed.
