Brakes and Clutches

Product catalog summary
Overview: The document provides detailed information on various types of brakes and clutches offered by Magtrol, focusing on their applications, principles, advantages, and technical specifications. The products are designed for tension and torque control, with a focus on reliability and performance.
Types of Brakes and Clutches:
  • Hysteresis Brakes and Clutches: These devices operate through a magnetic air gap, offering smooth torque transmission without friction components. They are ideal for precise tension control.
  • Compressed-Air-Cooled Brakes: Designed for high power applications, these brakes use compressed air for cooling, allowing for excellent heat dissipation and eliminating the need for a regulator.
  • Matched Brakes: Magtrol ensures that brakes of the same model are matched to a predetermined torque and current point, ensuring consistency across units.
  • Large Bore Brakes: These are used for applications requiring superior tension control, such as in cable and wire manufacturing.
  • Permanent Magnet Brakes and Clutches: Suitable for applications where electrical power is unavailable, offering fixed or adjustable torque.
  • Convection Powder Brakes: Ideal for low-speed or high-torque applications, providing full torque at zero speed.
Technical Specifications: The document includes detailed tables with specifications for each brake and clutch model, covering aspects such as torque, current, resistance, voltage, power, speed, and kinetic power. These specifications are crucial for selecting the appropriate device for specific applications.
Power Supplies and Controllers: Magtrol offers various power supplies and controllers to regulate and control the braking torque, ensuring optimal performance and eliminating torque drift due to temperature changes.
Customization and Options: Magtrol provides options for higher torque capabilities, special designs, and various modifications to meet specific customer requirements, including non-standard voltages, special shaft configurations, and speed pickups.
Company Information: Magtrol Inc. and Magtrol SA are leading manufacturers of motor test equipment and hysteresis brakes and clutches, with a global network of sales agents and subsidiaries in several countries.

HYSTERESIS BRAKES Standard Brakes Pure Hysteresis Brakes produce torque strictly through a magnetic air gap without the use of magnetic particles or friction components. This method of braking provides far superior operating characteristics (smoother torque, longer life, superior repeatability, high degree of controllability, and less maintenance and down time) which make them the preferred choice for precise tension control during the processing of nearly any material, web or strand. rATINGS Model Min.

Matched Brakes Magtrol has developed a system to assure that every brake of a given model designation will be matched, at a predetermined torque and current point, to other brakes of the same model designation regardless of material and manufacturing tolerances. Each brake will be matched at the selected match point to within a tolerance of ±1%. RATINGS Min.

Large Bore Brakes For many years Magtrol has designed Hysteresis Brakes with large bores, and without a shaft or bearings. These brakes are used for superior tension control for helical wrapping, braiding and other feed through applications in machines used for manufacturing cable, wire, fiber optic cable, rope and tape, among others. Magtrol Large Bore Brakes provide smooth, repeatable torque, largely independent of speed. * Higher speeds, up to 8000 rpm, are available on special basis. ** Kinetic power ratings are maximum values based on limiting coil and/or bearing temperature to approximately...

power supplies Model 5200 Power Supply Model 5200 is an unregulated 0–35 V DC Power Supply which offers control and regulation of the braking torque via a 10-turn potentiometer. Model 5210 Power Supply Model 5210 Current Regulated Power Supply The Model 5210 provides the same control capabilities as the 5200, and also provides current regulation of the brake. With regulated current, the 5210 will eliminate torque drift caused by temperature changes within the brake coil. Model 5250 Current Regulated Power Supply Model 5250-2 is an open frame, current regulated power supply that provides smooth...
