Packaged Performance Products Electromagnetic Clutches and Brakes oltage/Torque Curve Principle of Operation A key feature of Warner Electric brakes and clutches is the method of actuation. Like an electromagnet, they have two basic parts. A magnetic field is generated as soon as the current flows through the magnet coil. This draws the armature into direct contact with the magnet. The strength of the magnetic field is directly proportional to the amount of current applied. Full range torque control from 0 to 100% is as simple as turning the knob on a light dimmer. The benefits of electric actuation...
