Magnetic Particle Clutches & Brakes
Release Date:14/04/2016
Magnetic Particle Clutches & Brakes
Self-contained magnetic particle clutches and brakes for a wide range of unwind/ rewind applications offer smooth operation at very low speed and electronic control compatibility.
Torque range from 2 lb.in. through 578 lb.ft.
Shaft or flange mounting
Fan cooled in largest sizes.
Warner Electric Precision Tork magnetic particle clutches and brakes are unique because of the wide operating torque range available. Torque to current is almost linear and can be controlled very accurately. The unique features of the magnetic particle clutches and brakes make them ideal for tension control, load simulation, cycling/indexing, and soft starts and stops. |
Torque independent of slip speed
Torque is transmitted through
magneticparticle chains which are formed by an electromagnetic field.
The torque is independent of slip speed, depending only on circuit
current, and is infinitely variable from 0 (disengaged) to rated torque.
Precise engagement
Precision Tork magnetic particle clutches
and brakes engage to transmit torque with speed and precision. Response
of the particles to the field is virtually instantaneous, providing
perfectly controlled, jerk-free engagement.
Customer specified engagement
Engagement time may be very gradual or extremely fast. The
frequency and torque of the engagement/disengagement sequence is limited
only by the capabilities of the control circuitry.
No wearing parts
There are no friction surfaces to grab or wear, and the
units are not affected by changes in atmospheric or other environmental
conditions.
Efficient/Compact design
High torque to size ratio and low consumption of electric power.
Versatile mounting
Convenient bolt circle for easy mounting. Mounting brackets available for all sizes.
Brakes are available with solid shafts and through bore. Can
be mounted horizontally or vertically to solve virtually any motion
control requirement.
Distributor Item
Off the shelf availability. Interchangeable with industry standard sizes.
