Wichita Standard Vent Combination Clutch-CouplingThis is designed for reliable inline power transmission. The simple air-tube design, with small air volume, speeds engagement and disengagement. It is unaffected by centrifugal force and has no self-energization like drum clutch designs. It is ideally suited for large inertia loads where smooth controlled starts are needed. |

Wichita "Mistral" Air-operated Tension BrakeThis is for corrugators mill-roll-stands that delivers excellent tension control at speeds up to 1,140 feet/min. It was developed to meet design requirements of the most advanced high-speed corrugating machinery. This brake can also upgrade the speed and performance of existing machinery in the field and is compatible with the Micro Controller and other Tension Controls. |

Air-actuated Wichita Magnum Tensioning BrakeThis brake features new concepts in both internal and external design. The brake provides a continuous, variable braking torque needed for precise control over web tension in converting operations, including slitting, coating, laminating, printing and packaging. It is also compatible with Micro Controller and other Tension Controls. |
