Specifications and Design Recommendations
The document outlines the specifications and design recommendations for magnetic particle brakes and clutches. It emphasizes the importance of using an external drive for better powder distribution and mandates it when the clutch operates in a disengaged state during operation. The installation should preferably be on a horizontal axis, and if vertical, a residual magnetization of about 10% should be maintained.
Technical Specifications
The bore of the magnetic particle clutch is machined to DIN/ISO H8 standards. Maximum permissible speeds are 3000 rpm for units up to 200 Nm and approximately 1500 rpm for larger types. Torque is independent of speed from about 30 rpm.
Installation and Maintenance Procedures
During installation, ensure correct mechanical alignment and use elastic connections to accommodate deflection. Before initial operation and after long periods of inactivity, the unit should run at 100-300 rpm for about 5 minutes, switching on and off approximately 30 times to ensure even powder distribution. The units are lubricated for life and require no additional lubrication. In aggressive environments, a protective cover is recommended, provided cooling is sufficient.
Maintenance and Lifespan
The units are virtually maintenance-free except for the magnetic powder, which has a lifespan of 2000 to 5000 hours. Wear is indicated by a decrease in torque, requiring occasional adjustment. When the excitation setting increases by about 30%, the powder should be replaced.
