WCP Ratchet Plate 1/2 Inch Hex for Friction Brake Systems

The WCP Ratchet Plate is designed to replace a standard 1/2 inch hex wrench while giving teams a straightforward mounting method using integrated #10 hardware clearance holes. As part of the WCP Friction Brake System, this plate supports mechanisms that need to maintain position under load. When used in a friction brake setup, it assists a PID controller in holding an arm, elevator, or other subsystem in place, and can allow mechanisms to remain stationary without any motor power when the full brake system is engaged.

Key Features

• 1/2 inch hex interface for direct integration into common FRC style mechanisms
  
• Integrated #10 clearance holes for easy and secure mounting
  
• Designed as a core component of the WCP Friction Brake System
  
• Supports mechanisms that require positional holding under load
  

Product Benefits

• Replaces the need for a traditional 1/2 inch hex wrench
  
• Simplifies installation with built in mounting locations
  
• Helps reduce motor load when maintaining position
  
• Can allow mechanisms to stay in place without motor power when the complete friction brake system is used
