PERMANENT MAGNET / HYSTERESIS
MAGNETIC BRAKES AND MAGNETIC CLUTCHES
These magnetic brakes and magnetic clutches use permanent magnets to produce a drag torque and require no electricity for operation
By driving the body of our magnetic brake and using the shaft as an output, these permanent magnet hysteresis brakes can be used as adjustable inline torque limiting magnetic
Drag torque is constant and independent of slip speed
Torque on each unit can be adjusted to any value between bearing drag (~0) and the max torque indicated in the table below
Select a magnetic brake or magnetic clutch based on torque requirement
Refer to heat curve on product data sheet to ensure speed and torque of your application will not exceed heat rating of brake
Refer to bending moment rating on product data sheet if you plan to place your spool directly on the brake shaft
For heavy spools, consider using one of our HD models or supporting your spool with a separate bearing structure
