The Water Cooled Brake (WCB) is a high-energy absorbing solution used for dynamic tensioning. The design of the internal water passages and copper alloy wear plates allow for excellent heat dissipation. The WCB is well-suited for applications where a heavy-duty continuous slip is needed, such as drawworks, mooring winches, dynamometers, paper converting, uncoilers, and yarders.

Pneumatic Rated Actuator Pressure: 100 psi (7 bar) All sizes Pneumatic Max Actuator Pressure: 130 psi (9 bar) All sizes Hydraulic Rated Actuator Pressure: 18" = 330 psi (23 bar), 24" = 380 psi (26 bar), 36" = 410 psi (28 bar) Hydraulic Max Actuator Pressure: 18" = 430 psi (30 bar), 24" = 490 psi (34 bar), 36" = 530 psi (37 bar) Torque is directly proportional to the actuator pressure applied. Low Coefficient and Extra-High Coefficient Friction Material offerings are available. |

| Note for Heat Dissipation Capacity and Minimum Freshwater Flow | Flow and heat dissipation ratings are for parallel water flow through the jackets. Rated heat dissipation requires a freshwater flowrate of 1 gpm for every 10 hp (one liter per minute for every 2 kW) and are based upon a 50ºF (28ºC) temperature rise between the inlet and outlet. The outlet water temperature should not exceed 170ºF (77ºC). Maximum static inlet water pressure is 45 psi (3.1 bar) for the 18"/24"and 40 psi (2.8 bar) for the 36". Maximum dynamic inlet / outlet water pressure is 60 psi (4.1 bar) / 20 psi (1.4 bar) for all sizes. Ethylene Glycol is the recommended coolant additive. At 50% concentration in water, the required flowrate is 1.5 times the freshwater flowrate, due to the reduced specific heat of the solution. Seawater may be used as a coolant, with the same flow characteristics as with freshwater, and purging with freshwater after each use. | |||||||||
