Large permanent magnet clutch and brake

  • High torque capacity
  • Long life

This company has introduced what it says is the industry’s largest permanent magnet clutch and brake. Called the Precision Tork M9, it features adjustable torque capabilities ranging from 15 lb-in. to 300 lb-in and offers nearly five times the maximum torque capacity of comparable products, says the company. In addition, the Precision Tork M9 has an infinite number of adjustments for precise torque control within its available torque range. The M9 clutches and brakes use permanent magnets and have no mechanical wear parts or electrical connections, requiring virtually no maintenance They provide smooth torque at low and high speeds as well as a long, dependable life. Warner Electric, South Beloit, IL. Free info—Circle 195. www.RSLeads.com/?112df-195


Planetary gearhead. The TP-High Torque planetary gearhead offers 110% higher torque, 50% greater rigidity, and 700% higher overload safety than the original model. In addition, the low-backlash gearhead is available in a very compact size, reducing the amount of space required for servo drive systems. It is available in sizes 10 to 100 with larger sizes (300/500) available soon, in ratios from 22:1 to 220:1. Alpha Gear Drives, Elk Grove Village, IL. Free info-Circle 207. www.RSLeads.com/?112df-207

Speed controllers. The Series 4.000 is a complete line of braking devices that control the speed of packages and palletized loads in conveyor applications. They maintain proper and safe speed of conveyed objects regardless of package or pallet size, shape or weight. The line is available in three types-brake within a roller, patented tandem brake and conventional spring-loaded brake. They are suitable for use in gravity-fed conveyors. Interroll Corp, Wilmington, NC. Free info-Circle 206. www.RSLeads.com/?112df-206

Manual release backstop. The patented manual release backstop (MRB) reduces the time and effort needed to reverse conveyor direction. Drum motors with the MRB device can be implemented on inclined conveyors. Van der Graaf Inc, Brampton, ON. Free info—Circle 196. www.RSLeads.com/?112df-196

Stepper/servo brakes. The SSB series of front end brakes is designed for braking applications on stepper and servo motors. Available for NEMA 23, 34 and 42 sizes, the SSB incorporates a zero backlash permanent magnet brake and a torsionally rigid coupling to accept misalignment. The permanent magnet brake provides exceptionally fast response times and very low inertia. Dual bearings allow greater overhung loads. Electroid Co, Springfield, NJ. Free info—Circle 197. www.RSLeads.com/?112df-197

Powder brake dynamometers. The PB Series powder brake dynamometers are suitable for low- to mid-speed range and mid- to high-torque range (under 850 ft. lbs. of torque). They provide full torque at zero speed and are water-cooled. Magtrol Inc, Buffalo, NY. Free info—Circle 209. www.RSLeads.com/?112df-209
