For tensioning and torque limiting applications, our permanent magnetic brakes and clutches are the obvious choice. Permanent magnetic brakes and clutches are smooth by nature because they use no friction elements to wear or change with time. Permanent magnetic brakes and clutches use no electricity so they are explosion proof and can be used in applications where it is difficult or impossible to get electricity. Because of the Hysteresis design, the torque generated is constant and does not vary with speed. Our permanent magnetic brakes and clutches are designed to run continuously. At Magnetic Technologies, we have been building permanent magnetic hysteresis type brakes and clutches since 1984. This is all we do.
Why Are MTL Brakes and Clutches Better?
Clamping Screw
Large, industrial knurled adjustment with socket cap screw for locking the adjustment. Most importantly, the adjustment has positive stops at “0” and “100%”.
Matched Magnetic Assemblies
Because we do all our own magnetizing in house, we are better able to control flux density in the magnetic assemblies assuring better adjustability and consistency unit to unit.
Wave Spring
To eliminate any tolerance build up, we add a special wave spring to take out any accumulated tolerance and to pre-load the bearings with just the right amount of pressure to allow easy adjustment and virtually zero end play in the rotor.
Ball Bearing
Because the bearing is the only wearing part, we go to special lengths to buy the best sealed ball bearings available. We use a special high temperature lubricant to add years of long life.
Set Screw Collar
Most manufacturers simply tap the rotor to allow shaft connection. We’ve learned small rotors need an extra set screw collar, so we’ve added one, which makes mounting easier for you. More importantly we can now use an oversized set screw to give plenty of thread engagement and guarantee a positive shaft connection.
