We have steel and copper water cooled brake units in our supply; the steel brakes are great for high tension applications like sheet metal forming or use in rubber mills.
Meeting the challenges of high temperatures means using water cooled copper brakes, because of the superior heat transfer properties of copper. In many applications where other brakes will fail, water cooled copper will succeed. APS offers not just the finest WPT steel and copper water cooled brakes but we also offer low inertia clutches and brakes perfectly suited for metal stamping and other similar processes. You can always trust a Wichita clutch or brake from WPT; our professional staff will help you select the exact unit best suited for your needs.
