Select from three different models of Airflex® water-cooled disc brakes designed to meet the needs of even the most severe applications. Our advanced design features match your specific application requirements, including high horsepower absorption, continuous slip service, dynamic tensioning, static holding and emergency stopping.
Better energy dissipation - Improved fluid dynamics
Continuous slip service - Absorbs and dissipates huge thermal loads
Models available
WCB Family (WCB2/WCBD/WCB3) – The original externally cooled disc brake
WCS - Externally-cooled, spring-applied brake
WCSB – A combined 2-in-1 water- and air-cooled disc brake
Features
Robust design eliminates copper cracking
Self-supporting brake option eliminates costly support brackets
Split wear spacers for wear adjustment without disassembly
Improved fluid dynamics with better energy dissipation
Even the most severe brake applications are no match for Airflex water-cooled units. With single and multiple disc designs, spring-, air-, and hydraulically applied options and multiple sizes available, you can find an Airflex water-cooled brake to meet the needs of your application.
Continuous slip service
All models are designed to absorb and dissipate heavy thermal loads so they can provide continuous slip service all day long.
Patented piston design
Single or dual piston designs provide a wider range of applied tension with greater control. Standard single piston elements can be retrofitted with a dual piston powerhead to provide increased control.
Spring-applied for emergency stopping applications
1:1 dynamic-to-static torque ratio
