Wichita Clutch Offers New Marine Bulletin Wichita Clutch Co., Inc., which has for years been building a superior line of clutches and brakes for heavy- duty industrial application, has an- nounced publication of a new marine bulletin. Wichita units are air-tube actuated, utilize disc friction surfaces and offer clutching and braking capacities from 1,000 to 15,000,000 in/lbs. The com- bined characteristics of the air-tube actuator and disc friction surfaces provide for precise, controllable clutching and braking action. Charac- teristics of fast, smooth engagement and disengagement with only a small volume of air; controlled slipping action when needed for controlled torque; a high capacity in a small radial and axial space ... all unaffec- ted by centrifugal force and ideally suited for automated systems and re- motely controlled applications, espec- ially marine propulsion systems.
