RTAs are rectangular three-pole electromagnets with an aluminium winding. They are recommended for handling products with a flat surface:
•slabs,
•ingots,
•metal sheets,
•beds of extruded section.
Their robustness means they are ideal for intensive use in areas such as :
•continuous casting,
•hot and cold rolling mills,
•flame cutting workshops,
•steel distribution networks,
•shipyards.
TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION
RTAs consist of a precision-welded steel frame protecting the winding. The main component parts are :
•a three-pole magnetic circuit made of high magnetic permeability steel. The mechanical fittings and contact surfaces are machined,
•Two double suspension lugs with bolts and washers for a joint-ring two-strand chain,
•a concentric aluminium winding with reinforced insulation,
•a wear plate made of non-magnetic manganese-silicon steel. This highstrength part is welded to the frame,
•filler resin protecting and holding and insulating the winding in the frame (class H or C depending on the application),
•a compartmented double electrical box enabling external connections while protecting the internal winding.
Standard RTAs can easily be modified to allow special applications :
•4 suspension lugs,
•lateral handling hooks,
•orientation or tipping clevises,
•immersion chambers.
